Now

Is there anything that can take this away
anything to numb this pain
is there anyone who can hold me tight
anyone to see me through the darkness of this night
is there a hope for an end to this
hope for a happy ending
a peaceful place
a calm loving embrace
but somehow in the midst of this
i sense my fear
know its all too real
the sense of danger
the fear of hurt.
the fear that the embrace will quickly fade
the fear of knowledge of true and fake
the fear that of that fruit i'll take...
the fear that somewhere deep inside
is something that no man will ever like...
the fear of people far or close
the fear of losing out in this race
