Fear *

I look into your eyes,

And my head starts to spin,

My heart beats faster,

Until I can hear it,

Beating like a drum.

I cry harder,

With each trembling breath,

And I see nothing,

As the tears fall.

I would like to say,

I think I can,

Like the little engine that could,

But I can not.

I wish I could be like you,

Perfect in every way,

But I can not,

Because I,

Am only human.

Why can't I do this,

Is the question that plagues my head.

I ask myself every morning,

And at night before I go to bed.

I have to ask you one question,

Before I go...

Why do I fear you?
