I look up, 

I look down,

I look all around.

I cry 

I try; but the tears still slide down 

No way in this world will I every escape 

For, the discouragement you create keeps me in chain and un-new

The days grow shallow as I lose my view 

I can't continue to fight, for you hold back every blow

You cut off my circulation 

You tear out my opinion

You... are the one I see.

In my eyes and in my souls 

My body can't feel,

My body can't heal.

Yet in light, you allow me to feel the dark creeping down my neck 

For the dark is not enough.

You bring your cold chills and like hail you break me;

Down as I shatter. 

Cuts my tongue.

Holds my breathe.

Drags me into the shadow

Taking away my opportunities.

Such small word

Yet such big impact

Fear;

What a challenge for us all.
