Suddenly Scary
When life suddenly gets scary,
you search around for a safe place.
And try blocking reality
with tricks of imagination.
Yet anxieties quickly climb
when life suddenly gets scary.
And paranoia stalks your thoughts,
overshadowing happiness.
As yesterday's ghosts haunt today,
those memories morph into tears.
When life suddenly gets scary,
love retreats into wishful dreams.
But dreams only come out at night;
fantasies fade with morning light.
And you're held hostage by your fears;
when life suddenly gets scary.
