Breaking free !!!!!

What the pain took away from me was not happiness,
What made me cry in alleys of sorrow was not pain,
What dripped down and drenched those cheeks weren't tears,
What could it be, the demon within me, the very old fears.

The journey has begun, and clearly is catching it's pace,
At a breakneck speed it's a rat race, and am leading the race,
Drenched in sweat, the stench of life, is seeping through,
Like puss hitting the bone, the fear is ripping through.

Wings don't flap anymore, dreams not colorful anymore,
Are the Hopes to come by, strangled by the fears passed by,
Jumping the set barricades,meeting the worldly challenges,
The real one still remains, unchallenged, the fear within,
It's still languishing within, the fight, fight with the fear within.
