Self Fear

I try to control the urge to flee,

Why are my inner demons tormenting me?

I bear the scars of mistakes I've made,

All the hearts and souls I've betrayed,

Of this self fear I need to be free.

Honour and Valour I prize so high,

Failure to endure stares me in the eye,

Ridicule seems to be my avenue,

A road that seems desolately true,

It's all I can do not to cry.
Anguish riots through my soul,

Taking positive emotion as it's toll,
Despair is my constant ally,

Throughout this blackness I attempt to pry,

Peace, bliss, silence is my goal.
