Fear grips your heart with its icy claws
holding and caressing, slowly constricting until the chill resonates through your every cell.
Your body shakes inside , your eyes deepen, your heart sinks,frozen, inside and out, thawed only by the exit of the cause
it grabs you,holds you..shakes you, mutes you, controls you...your brain submits to its touch
surrendering to the power, following sheepishly down the unknown path,laid out.
Knowing not where you go, but knowing that to conquer, it is a path that must be traversed
and that to turn around, would only make the path longer,the trek more intense and draining.
