Secretly Scary
When life is secretly scary,
you search around for a safe place.
And try blocking reality
with tricks of imagination.
And anxiety starts to climb
when life is secretly scary.
For paranoia stalks your thoughts,
overshadowing happiness.
Ghosts of buried memories haunt
as yesterdays morph into tears.
When life is secretly scary,
love retreats into wishful dreams.
But dreams only come out at night;
fantasies fade with morning light.
You are held hostage by your fears
when life is secretly scary.
