Fear is the mind killer
It dissolves wills
And ruins lives
Combine it with
An overactive imagination
And the seeds of madness
Are sewn
But survive it long enough
And it will
Make you tough as nails
Confronting your own mortality
Day after day
Numbs the mind
To lesser dangers
That abound
In the dark places
Of the modern world
It will make you a fighter
A warrior of will
That shrugs off death
And maybe, just maybe
Allow you to become
A champion in this world
