Fear
Fear of anything, fear of everything.
Fear to leave the house, to walk down the street,
To open the door, fear even to speak.
Fear to go to work.
Fear to send the children to school.
Fear of footsteps, fear of voices,
Fear of the dark, fear of the mark.
Fear for their safety, not of my own.
Fear for Arthur, for Charlie, for Bill and for Fleur,
For Fred and George, for Ron, for Ginny.
Even for Percy.
And for Harry and Hermione.
Fear for the world.
Fear for tomorrow.
Fear of fear.
Fear of him.
Of You- Know- Who.
Of Voldemort.
Will it ever end?
Will he ever die?
Will life ever be less full of fear?
Will I ever be… fearless?
