Poem #23: Fear
#23 of Poetry
Somewhat self-explanatory. I wrote this in anticipation to becoming a senior, when I would become an adult and get ready to leave my childhood behind and embrace new responsibilities as an adult.
Fear
Fear
Lives within each of us
Waiting to come
And control
To sabotage
Instill Darkness
Light
Life
and Death
Fear
Is all around you
In your dreams
Your vision
Your world
It is inescapable
Uncontrollable
Undesirable
Invisible
And complex
Fear
Washes away sanity
Grants purity
Destroys validity
And instills bravery
To be fearless
Impossible
To deny it
Unforgiveable
But to conquer it
Favorable
Fear
The thing itself
Is itself
Invigorates
Strengthens itself
Reveals
And weakens itself
The climax of emotion
Course of action
A calling
Fight
Or flight
Fear
Its cloak
Wrapped around us all
No escape
But salvation
From Fear.
