Fear Me

Speak easy of those who live in fear,

of those who doubt my existence.

They dwell in tremors and shackles,

both made from memories–

no ideals.

Neither deserving,

neither real.

I am not one.

I bring misery to its knees.

I hang it from ropes

in the midmorning sun.

So that the frightened, skeptic

fools may watch

as its neck snaps

against my certainty.
