Avoid the Trap of Fear
I've felt the pain of fiery heat
And winters' cold upon my feet
But none of these shatters bliss
Like the abysmal pain of loneliness
A product of my cowardice
My solitude bred bitterness
From depression, I now see
An albeit gloomy opportunity
The things I've done cannot compare
To the pain of things I didn't share
So I'll eave you with just this
Leave not a chance to go amiss
Call Fates bluff with just a kiss
Your fear is simply avarice
Or just a word if need be
But if you love, don't be like me
Don't fall into a trap of fear
For death may truly be right here
Let Failure not stand in your way
Bypass his walls and make your play
