Fear Modeled After Poe's "The Raven"


Fear comes from the pit of your soul, bringing forth emotions the Devil would extol Nothing but a growing urgency coming from within It makes you shudder, your heart eerily flutter Examining the clutter of your mind, exposing your most horrendous sin What better way to get under your skin, than to expose your most damning sin? But yet, what more malicious a way to begin? Fear is the never ending threat that causes you to break a cold sweat It refuses to cease 'til your fate is met, and your soul Lucifer will win An everlasting battle of inner demons, seemingly fought for no reason A deadly and potent treason, so sinister as to make Satan grin However, to see the Tempter grin Is the equivalent of being devoured by one's own sin. Fear is the sudden uncertain sadness, that often leads to madness It will consume you, entomb you, eat away at you from within It delves into the very core of your soul, so that no secret is left untold Meant to erode everything, there's no stopping once it begins To truly erode everything is when udder chaos begins But who's to say chaos isn't what makes the world spin?
