Fear

Everyday I live in fear,
Fear of letting out a silent scream,
Fear of no one being able to hear,
Fear of being stuck in a constant downward stream.

Fear of depression setting in,
Fear of my head always hanging down,
Fear of never letting out another grin,
Fear of my face always in a constant frown.

Fear of never feeling anything,
Fear of being all alone,
Fear of these good emotions leaving,
Fear of depression hitting even my funny bone.

My name is Austin,
Every day I live in fear,
This is where it'll all begin,
Where i scream but no one can hear.
