Doubt and fear


Christ within, Christ without. To the heavens I scream and shout. Inside my head I should find no doubt. But inside a bed, there it lay. Forever it wish to stay. My heart, it hopes to sway. To bring about my own dismay. Enter fear, the demon of my heart. It’s only desire, to whisper in my ear. The whispers of fear only draw doubt near. To think it all began, here. I thought my self to be rid of thee. How could I let you deceive me. My eyes to be open, I did believe. Tis’ is the end of me, this you will see.

Aripari

I am a novice poet that believes that the best poetry comes from your heart and emotions. I am a Norse Pagan who just so happens to be transgender and lesbian. I believe that the whole world is my muse and I get inspiration from everyone and everything that I come into contact with. Words are some of the most powerful things that we as humans posses and if used right; they can change the hearts of many. Art comes in many forms and poetry is one of them. So why not change the world with art, one word at a time?
