Why Fear

Anifowose Bilikisu 2008 (Sagamu)

             WHY FEAR
Followed me for years
Now you are all I hear
Creeping behind me steadily
Trying to engulf me
And you won
Made me neglect the morning scene
Now I shiver under my blanket
With my brows covered in sweat
In the morning,waiting for sun to shine
Listening to the devil as it hums
My hearts beating way past it's limit
Then I screamed "this is it!"



Fear,you won once again.
