Fear Is The Question, But Not The Answer~ By Shayne Holzman

4/13/2015

If every day I walked along the streets
Feeling this alien inside me
Would you say it was fear?
Is that the question, or the answer?
Is it a fact that when I get scared
It is because I am made that way?
Is the question because I haven’t grown up?
Or have a grown up to figure out that the truth wasn’t fear?
Is that the question or the answer?
Fear happens when you think things would appear by magic
Fear is magic if it’s in your head

Detached From The World

Here is me, a lonely person
Never going places, hiding from the dark side
Or is it the bright side, with the world out there
Amongst the wilderness
And not signaled around me
I’m detached from the world

Everyone around me, and everything is distant
No one cares how we walk or talk
Speak or listen, or greet people
Life is all a blur to me

You don’t see the person in his or her normal actions
You see people differently
You take control of how the person acts
And what people say, but only in slow motion

The slower life gets, the scarier reactions seem
Deranged people alienate me
It’s true; I am detached from the world
