My soul is full of fear,
This is so perfectly clear,

As my body begins to tremble & shake,
Of this, I don’t know what to make,

My heart beats faster & my lungs feel pressed,
All of a sudden I feel so depressed,

I just want to be left all alone,
Sheltered from the world in my own little home,

I just want to curl up in a ball,
And hide here from it all,

In my own little corner, I’m safe as can be,
No one & nothing can hurt pitiful me,

Exhausted from the panic & fear,
I drift off to sleep to dream something dear.

T.D. Channell, 2001
