Secretly Scary
When life gets suddenly scary,
you search around for a safe place.
And try blocking reality:
with tricks of imagination.
Anxieties begin to climb:
when life gets suddenly scary.
And paranoia stalks your thoughts;
overshadowing happiness.
Ghosts of buried yesteryears haunt;
while memories morph into tears.
When life gets suddenly scary:
Love retreats into wishful dreams.
But dreams only come out at night:
for fantasies fade in sunlight.
And you're held hostage by your fears:
when life gets suddenly scary.
