Fear

Hope thins in the rain, I see the reflection of pain in puddles. Drenched in hate of what I see as a day-by-day struggle. I walk through the dark clouds as the rain continues to pour, I’m drowning from life, suffocating for more. I see a monster in fear of its petrified self, Anger as deep as the abyss of my heart, and I can’t escape its depths. I am afraid of my reflection for it embodies hope, But my fears lie to my dreams, Saying that, “They will vanish like smoke”. “I can’t stand what I see” says Fear, I responded clearly trying to kill the image by fighting mirrors. I let the blood smear but the pain only makes the nights worse, I spend my lonely days with death, Knowing that my life is cursed… I shed blood with the reign of tears For my dreams have wept, I do not fear death, Or the shame I’ve felt… But what I kept was Fear itself.
