The Mind Killer

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
