Beast Of Fear -story
By: TheWorldFell&UWerentThere (SUMMER).

You are nothing but a beast that creeps in the night. You have no face; you have no eyes, just the hollow eye sockets standing in darkness for yourself. Don't turn off the light unless you want to be dead. Hide under the covers but fear will just peel them off and you will still be faced with your nightmare. It will not and cannot go away. It is just a image inside your head, stuck there night after night, that gets you so restless in the mornings. The way you imagine yourself is how you will be. Fear will continue to haunt in the shadows following you. It's the ache inside your heart that seems to never go away. It's the violence in front of your eyes that will never stop. It's the nightmares that keep you looking behind your back. No one can seem to understand themselves. Everyone has their fear; everyone has spent one of their nights sitting up holding on to their pillow waiting for the truth to come. It's different for everyone. Fear is carved and burned under your skin, watching every move you make. It knows when you feel the pain, hurt, fear of it. It can and will be your worst enemy.

It's the face of the truth that none will know. It's going to keep nagging them with their fear of them to keep living. You live more off fear then you ever did with other things. Fear is the reason why you keep dying everyday, over and over and over again. Things may change, but that's totally out of your head. You believe it will stay forever and ever. You believe it's here to decay you. But just think once, you are killing your own self, you are decaying yourself. You choose to live in the fear of fear. You are afraid of yourself; you are your own fear. As I am of my own. Yes, we will keep holding onto life like a rock climber and his rope. But someday we have to let it all go. Some know that it's the only way to stop fear from haunting them, so they think they should end it. Nothing but a bunch of cowards if you ask me. You will only grow stronger and stronger if you keep working yourself through the things that life throws at you. You will learn more about yourself as you spend each day decaying and dying. Problems will arouse and things will become hard at one point, but this isn't a game. We can't shut off the fear of ourselves, heartbreaks, the tears and the nights of hiding from yourself. We can't just blink everything away or we'll just end up missing the opportunity of making it better for yourself. Like the saying, "Blink once, part of your life has passed, Blink twice, everything is gone." What about the hopes and dreams you hope you can get to If we don't live the life that we were set to live, and not make so many changes to it or we'll just be fake like some of those that already made of themselves. Just think about it once, we are so afraid to live the life we want to. We are our own beast of fear. All we do now it seems is living in the fear of how people are going to accept us, how people are going to view or know us. Think about it, you really are the beast of your own fear.
