Fear's Embrace
The fear that consumes me
Every bully's knee
Depression's transgression
It's my fault
I'm not good enough
My mind's default
Grown skin never rough
Sticks and stones
Always broke my bones
Words especially hurt me
I only wanted to be free
Flailing in fear's embrace
Victory though God's gift
Strength with a righteous face
Mended man's rift
My relationship with God
Helped defeat fear's grog
