Love Poem: Secretly Scary

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.
