The Villian Inside Me
The villian is inside me. It goes by one name, Fear. It simply waits, fear bides its time. The longer Fear is in me, the larger it grows. It grows by my decisions, my thoughts, my wishes, my hopes, and dreams. The more I acknowledge it, the bigger it grows. It can't grow without my permission. So, I give it, I give it, I give it. Everytime I hear its sick siren call, I say take me over, possess me, fill me with your essence. It's only kryptonite, is my strength. When my strength grows stronger, the fear grows weaker, until it is nothing but a tiny speck. Gone, but not forgotten, soon to rise again.
