fears

Published by Jaachị Anyatọnwụ on May 4, 2022

i can’t chase my dreams
there’s a nightmare on the street

i can’t turn off the light
there’s a ghost in the dark

i can’t run the jungle
there’s a lion in the woods

i can’t see the future
there’s mist on my mind’s eye

i can’t…

i know, my phobias are unreal
but they blindfold me with anxiety

i need an ocean to wipe
my illusion clean
