Fear

The chilling night crept in
leaving the door open to hairy, scary thoughts
my dare thin

freaky faces
tying my stomach into knots!
races

austere
ghostly mascots
fear!

The chilling night crept in
tying my stomach into knots!
fear!

Fear is part of life Linda-Alice, also I constder There are different types of fear..I think some Fear is self-generated or enhanced.' As regards The fear of God.' I see or know that. As a fear of Great respect really ( His daily work is to apportion) life and death..Think on that.? Millisecond by eternity, on and on.' That is what God is about.' and much besides.? Yet one Thing that must be resisted is the spirit of despair (which is very active right now) All best wishes to you.!

Woah, this is so eerie and captivating with a haunting ambience.. The emotions of fear, anxiety and agony come alive in these lines, so intense! A wonderfully carved write..
