Fear, you are a thief and a liar.
You treat me like a child, turning the bedroom dresser of day into the monster of night. Turning happy moments anxious with the flip of a switch. Shrouding in darkness truth and goodness. You are shadowy, menacing, false. May the light reveal who you truly are!
Liar and thief,
you are the great cheat
strangling peace
choke, worry, and grief.
Angst you bring,
you false old thing,
you twist and distort
best plans often thwart.
Masquerader of light,
you skulk through the night
whispering, false-
doom, dispair, loss.
You kill and destroy
and with falsehood employ
your counterfeit words
dark, carrion birds.
Stop! Enough!
You have been rebuffed.
You're a sham, straw man,
in truth light cannot stand.
