Realm of Fear
of all the things that haven’t changed
I miss psychology the least
you prance and plex and patronize
don’t you know you’re useless
no wonder he rolls his eyes
are you a “don’t worry, fly” psa
or a ptsd survival guide
everyone fears, the fear is status quo
does it matter if you are to go boldly or to boldly go
as long as you get there and back without a worm attack
take me apart system by system
scanners functional, heart beats, then gone
connected wires, connected brain, then gone
I energize, I breathe, then gone
it’s taken me over and won’t leave
do I fear an enemy more than losing my mind
I’m glad the danger’s there this time
do you know I never would have woken you
anyone else; but not you, this is the bravest thing I’ve done
if harm to me means they can see, I’m stuttering
I don’t like the sound of this
I’ve taken a leap and saved you
but did he have to give me a new fear
spiders didn’t used to bother me
