Fears! and Phobias!

A poem about fears and phobias, and how they can consume the mind.

Pounding,
on your self-conscious mind. 
Like rain,
you can’t even tell time.

Confused,
more than ever before.
Hiding,
you can’t take this anymore.

Fears! and phobias!
Lost and you don’t know which way to turn,
your body begins to burn.
Fears! and phobias!
Hopefully someday you’ll finally learn,
how to handle this burn.

Crying,
tearing yourself apart.
Dying,
is your innocent heart.

Afraid, 
you don’t know what to do.
The truth is,
you have nothing to lose.

Fears! and phobias!
Lost and you don’t know which way to turn,
your body begins to burn.
Fears! and phobias!
Hopefully someday you’ll finally learn,
how to handle this burn.

Handle this burn,
someday you’ll finally learn, 
how to handle this burn.
You’ll finally learn,
how to handle this burn.

This sounds like it could be a song. Life trapped in your own fears is the most efficient way to ruin your own freedom. You are your own captor, but only you have the capacity to become your own liberator. I especially like your emphasis in your "Fears! and phobias!" lines. :)
