It incapacitates those that it holds in its grip

It is created in the mind

It causes the heart to quiver

Allows the body to be racked by shivers

The stomach feels heavy and empty simultaneously

It keeps life in limbo

It destroys relationships

At the same time it brings forth compassion

And mercy in the hearts of the merciless

It makes the head ache with one thought

Which bounces around all its poles

Such power given to something created in the mind

Such power given to that which has few protective abilities

The power humans have to give power to something as trivial as

Fear
