SCARED

 
A thought bulldozes its way in to my head
It bounces around inside, I get a feeling of dread

My palms start to feel sweaty, my fingers start to shake
I hear the pulse inside my head, my shoulders start to quake

My breathing starts to quicken, an ache in every breath
My brain starts to question, is this life or death?

I feel it hard to move, I’m rooted to the spot

Panic starts to grip me, my sight begins to fade
I feel I’m going to pass out, my nerves completely frayed

I’m not afraid of spiders and not afraid of snakes
I’m not afraid of drowning in Oceans, seas or lakes

With heights I have no problem, the same applies to sharks
I have no fear of cats or even dogs that bark

I’m not afraid of beetles, butterflies or bugs
The same applies to people, I enjoy their hugs

So why this state of panic, why this show of fear
Why am I immobilised, why’s it so severe

Al these mixed up symptoms, a frightening cornucopia
It’s crystal clear for all to see I’m suffering from a phobia

They say ‘There’s nothing to fear but fear itself’
It then hit me between the eyes the problem was myself

I have a fear of phobias, as strange as that may seem
My fear of fear itself is really quite extreme

Not sure how to solve this, not sure how I tick
My worst fears realised I am simply a phobia-phobic
