Fear is a state of mind

 

Fear is a state of mind,

Always making terrible

Fear is something that makes

The mind work over time,

Fear is a nightmare that

Seems to have no end,

A dark place that makes

The body ache;

Fear is what Dark Angel brings,

His persistence to the intelligent minds,

That holds pains of hard times,

A broken past will flame the fire

That burn’s deep in the eyes of he,

Fear is a place of punishment,

That plays on the mind,

When one sleeps they will get bad dreams,

Looking for peace that will never come,

Dark Angel will always keep you on the run,

Fear is a Big disappointment;

But a lesson to the minds of the intelligent,

Who writes, dreams,

Who lives, yet feels trapped,

Fear does all of that,

Fear is like a cancer to the soul

it eats away all that you know.
