Fear and Emotions

What do I see that is not there? All about is dark Causing my senses to tingle Filling me with fear I can see currents of emotions Swirling in the air I feel the burden of too much care I am being filled with deep despair As clear as day I observe the unseen I linger in a dream Where all is worse than it seems Anxiety rules supreme over me My sixth sense harangues me No one I am sure can rescue me I inhabit a world where light shines through darkness Illuminating all that is hidden And was never meant to be seen What I see that isn’t there Are not ghouls and spectres But are truths laid incautiously bare What I see is never clear Unless I am filled with deep fear It is a curse I must Perpetually bear

Emotions can electrify an already fragile mindset. The outcome as you describe is seldom pleasant. Often for whatever reason it becomes our way of life. For some of us, it is bred into our DNA. I too, wrestle with those same feelings and find myself beset with sentiments that can at time become overwhelming. Allan
