Fear

Fear has gotten me I know But I fear to take the fear out of me. I’m so comfortable to live in fear That a fearless me looks abnormal to me I fear death, I fear life, I fear everything alright Yet I fear that should I overcome my fear There’d be nothing else to do How fearful is such a world I say. So I keep going on fearing everything in life Fear is like my breath, or should I say my life I’m running scared that If I have no fear That’ll be the last day of my life, so I fear.

The Game

Sometimes I feel, It wasn’t enough for me to be just born I seem to be running for so long In search of fame, fortune, companions et al. I wonder whether I need them at all. The World is an Illusion, they said, I refused to believe it coz. I’d so much at stake Then one day it dawned to me I was wrong and had been caught in the Universal Melee. Fight, as much as I may, I couldn’t release The grip of half a century of ideas ingrained in me Running away, sometimes I think is the solution But how could a ‘brave’ man like me concede. So I guess I’ll walk the same over treaded path Till my death whether near or far On my way will I join the raceFor fame, fortune, companions, and game.
