It's The Fear...

by BehindTheSmile   Sep 3, 2011


It's the fear of being happy
That stops me in my tracks.
It's the fear of being happy
That's making its attack.

It's the fear of things going wrong
That keeps me from saying yes.
It's the fear of things going wrong
That has me so depressed.

It's the fear of every ones opinion
That have me running for the covers.
It's the fear of every ones opinion
That forbids us from becoming lovers.

It's the fear of being happy
That haunts me at night.
It's the fear of being happy
That questions you being Mr. Right...

    Victory achieved, is Fear conquered. Pain only comes, from what you fear.

    Oh my gosh. I think we think on the same wavelength. It is a great poem you wrote dear, but a really bad thought-process to keep yourself in. I speak from experience. Overcome your fears and Carpe Diem(seize the day) and just do. :) You'll actually be surprised with the outcome.
    The flow was great and overall beautiful. :) 5/5 and favorite!

    A very nice piece that clearly exchanges thoughts and feelings for words. And done in a way that is clear to it's truth. I don't understand why so few comments are made about poetry on this site. It should be more nourishing on here I would like to think.

    I think this was so down to earth and penned with a questioning mind. Is it possible to fear being happy..Most definitely, not happiness it's self but the end of it.
    Very good piece indeed
