FEAR
Fear.
A devil straight from hell
Causes anger to swell
Fear.
A demon
With long wings
Laced with blood
Dripping down
Like a butterfly after rain
The eyes
Dark, and filled with sorrow
The skin so translucent
You can see every,
Single
withering
Muscle,
Joint,
And bone
Fears languid smile
Has blood on each
Shiny, tiny, tinted, tooth
To consume, connect, collect, correct
The world
All fears consume you
Fear.
Creates inhabitations and stereotypes
Like a sharpie on a table
Getting rid of fear takes more than one wipe
Like a musician
Playing a pure tune
One wrong note
And the song is ruined
truth dissipates
When fear
is near
Your smiles
fades
Your eyes
widen
Your mind
becomes an abyss
The world you won’t truly miss
The fear can only be destroyed
If we
WE
Return to an earlier state;
Recommence into an innocent child
Who has no fear
And has no sadness
Fearless
Frightless
Free
We were once a dove
Peaceful, pure, polite
Fear.
Doesn’t harm us
Or alarm us
Fear.
Freedom, fate, fame, or a taste of victory
All come with fears
All come with tears
To escape we NEED
Hope
One small shine
One thin line
Of hope
But you have none
Darkness falls over you
Your mind
An empty abyss
The faint ambulance siren
Rings through your ears
But you don’t hear a sound
A tear lands on your shoulder
But you don’t
Feel a thing
You taste sweet blood
Rolling down your cheek
But you can’t take a peek
Or taste a thing
The smell of sterilized plastic
And desperation lingers
But you can’t smell anything
Why,
How,
When,
Where,
What…
You see darkness and feel defeat
You have been stolen
By fear himself
He looks in your teary red eyes
His smile becomes a steady
Greedy
Smirk
As he consumes you
His eyes have no sorrow
But hunger
BUT THEN
One flash one kind word
One word
One four letter word
In the jumble of alphabet soup
That is reality
One flash one kind word
One word
One four letter word
In the jumble of alphabet soup
That is a reality
Hope
Someone hoped
Hope like an angels stature
Hopes
Long luxurious wings
Beautiful gleaming eyes
And pure white robe
Pulls you out of the dark
Shows you the light
And with time you see the bright, white, light
Setting you
Fearlessly, flying, free
You have escaped fear
You
have
won.
