Embrace the Fear

Just a little poem I came up with while out on liberty, I wrote it down on a napkin.

It tears at the mind like a flesh eating bug
Rendering thoughts of pain and hatred
There is no escape
There is no way to fight it
There's nothing to stop it
Rabid bits of energy leave your pores
Leaving you frozen
Wide-eyed, rigid
Your heart pounds in your chest
Leaving the sound of war-drums in your brain
Each beat of the simplistic anomaly kills a thought
There's only one thing to do
Embrace it, tear it apart with your mind
Force it away
Embrace the fear
Or it will destroy you
