Fear. ( VOTE. )

by Myke Roeschlein   Jul 31, 2007


So this is not just a habit,
That's become quite clear.
It's almost close enough to grab it,
Then up shoots a wall of fear.

I refuse to just stand here,
Just to be put in my place.
The ignorance to which I adhere,
So I don't fall flat on my face.

And I'm sick of having pity,
For faded goals, or fallen dreams.
Maybe if I'd been more witty,
It wouldn't burst at the seams.

And now I just have to say,
This is becoming a bit much.
I'm getting number everyday,
It seems I'm really losing touch.

Pain stricken is the heart,
Yet, it barely even beats.
I'm sick of tearing myself apart,
When I don't accomplish any feats.

I think if I just lay here,
And pretend that I'll be fine.
I'll eventually forget the fear,
Or it will just fade with time.

When suffering's the only way,
Believe me, every thing's okay.
You realize to live, is to die,
Just a little more each day.

    I loved the start to the poem - very grabbing with your first two lines. Liked the stanzas and the rhyming you used. Very sad poem - definitely been there before in my life. Fear is a horrible thing. Hope writing this helped you get over it.

    This was perfect . Wow . You really grabbed me with the first stanza . Your rhyming was good; at one point it seemed force, but it still worked well . And the ending, was just ... It wrapped the whole thing up .

    Applauded (:
