Fear
A silencer that speaks not of itself
Waiting for the beckoning to come
It shuts its ears from speech
But listens to the heart
Where comes the enticement
You perceive it like its the enticer
You see it like it is inescapable
But fail to remember its helplessness
By the ignorance of the fact
That it waits
It smiles
At the conversations of the heart of
some
Who sit on the fence
But gets a setback by those of others
Who have crossed on
You give it the power to leap
From the point where it waits
To the beckoning heart
By the inexistence of willpower
Which is revealed in thoughts
Like a magnet, it leaps
Straight into the weak heart
Cheerfully gives out its pseudo
strength
And engulfs the strength in the heart
With which it is able to do more
Which puts a smile on its lean face
It shakes it tails
At the sight of the weak heart
But shivers at the sight of the
courageous one
Which makes it a coward
Which joys at the weakness of the
weak.
