Sometimes there's nowhere to hide ... the monster always finds you

‘Reflections of Fear’ Please, someone stop the dark The eyes will find me Those peering, probing eyes That seem to follow Through the window To where I am I’m not sure that this is real But my head tells me it’s coming Creeping and curling its strange tendrils around me Squeezing, scaring and screeching Into me and around me I feel like I’m falling, but I am only failing This is killing me, but I am only surviving When will it take me and return me To the darkness where I am afraid Footsteps, fright, monsters in the maze That has become my mind Frozen, fumbling, losing the fight Feeling the fright Nervous, uptight Please, someone stop the light It shows me too much of what I know but don’t wish to see Not my own eyes Only theirs That follow my every thought Penetrating, accusing, stealing the darkness Finally To wrap me up in my own misery Until I am gone © Annette Hansen 2005

Do not fear this devil liked creature. He is trying to scare you and thinks it is fun. The big bad monster must go and leave you alone. You need a life full of fear and can find it. Just don't let it worry you and live life to the fullest and do what you want to do. Life is too short to have scares like this bother you.

I am quoting a verse in the bible which says, "Our God is not a God of fear, but of perfect love and a sound mind". I am sorry I cannot tell where I got that memorized verse except that it is in the New Testament somewhere after Acts. I hope it gives you comfort. It gives me comfort and hope.

This is very unique and describes fear to the tee.
