Fear And Trembling

I am limped to those who trample me

Through sparks of timidity, I inquire

In times of shame, I hid from me

In times of malady, I require,


Wretched behaviour severs the self

I came to grasp an untimely truth

A mirror which holds the naked self

Bare-boned, morbid of the youth,


I am sore to those who relish me

Take pity for me, the empathy

As the skin peels from the dying flesh

With it, pours with bloody flash,


Faces: a mere amalgamated field

Portions of lies which fills its grass

As they lie across the grisly field

With comforting humour; riveting crass,


From here and the hereafter,

My weakness lives, a hugging friend

In useless life, a gentle friend

From here and the hereafter.
