The Island Of Fear

I'm on an island, alone and unknown

Its story untold, yet I've been here for long

I see the world far across the sea

My dream world, where I long to be

Living happy and free, like everyone else

But how do I live here, and how do I get there?

Each time I try, I see an enemy

Looking into its eyes, it's a 'no' with a frown

A voice whispers 'impossible'

I want to go, but how do I do that?

I wish I could fly over this enemy

But I have no wings, and even if I did, I'm scared of heights

I wish I could swim across it

But what if I freeze? And even if I don't, it's too far and deep

I have to fight this enemy, but where do I start?

Is it the frightening river or the invisible voice?

Who owns this voice? Where does it come from?

I think it comes from within, but it's not my voice

Who are you? Now I know, it's Fear."
