When i have fears

When I have fears that wish to bring me down
Before I can get the nerves to tell thee
A’fore the great multitude of people shown
Quietly I speak thy name and wake from dream

When I behold myself in the dizzy light
Shaking with the fear, I come walking to you
And think that I can no longer stand upright
Knees knocking, hagg’red breath drawn in I speak my piece

Fears Poem

When I have fears.....
When I have fears that turn me pale,
Before my ultimate death,
Before I have any chance to fail,
I give up with regret.
When I behold the pain of fear,
I get the suffocating feeling that myself isn't I.
And think that I am about to die.
Sliding down my cheeks, a tear.
And when I feel the monster breathe down my back.
An unstoppable feeling overcomes me, death.
Never concentrate on what you lack,
fear feeds off of sorrow and prevents dreams from being met.
When I have fears that suffocate me,
I no longer want to be.

When I have fears...

When I have fears that I, my money will cease to be
Before I soon will face financial strain
Before High I stand, I will be forced out on the streets.
When eviction and shame plague my soul,
When I behold these greenbacks, to spend them I do race.
For holes they burn in my pocket, a sort of trance,
And think that I may be doomed to stare at this face,
The face of an impulsive spender, whom victory I have no chance.
And when I feel this flower
Starting to bloom, I let it grow, for soon I am poor.
Never have I fully said no to this awesome power,
For the cycle soon starts afresh and I focus on the score;
I need some precious time to think
On proper ways to save, or again I soon will sink.
