The Invisible Beast
Through beauteous fields we wander
Our minds free wherever we roam
A rainbow of color surrounds us
Luscious petals striving to protect us
Feeding our young minds
Assuring our fearless hearts
Though we could frolic and wander all day
A distant shadow distinctly looms
Making its way closer and closer
As time goes on, until we can almost feel it
Our free childishness gone
Burdened by the weight of the clock
It becomes a ferocious monster
Following our every endeavor
Always looming though we might not know
A silent but deadly foe
Now who is this monster? What is it’s purpose?
Oh, if we had only known sooner
If we had only known the monster following us about
Had only but one name:
Doubt.
