fear.
the threatening terrorising emotion that swallows us all whole,
the feeling that leaves a pit in our stomachs,
that we will never fill
heights, hurricanes, horses,
what is fear?
for me...
fear is life.
yes , a fear to live,
a fear to laugh,
a fear to be happy
for I know that once I am happy then I must be sad.
so I retreat into the pit in my stomach,
and let myself sink into numbness
because I fear
therefore to not fear,
I must not feel
even though my departed heart aches for it
I must not give in.
