Notes About The Poem

Fear of Fear

Let leave this uncontented mind
     That clings to hate for fear of change
     Such pain of sight that keeps me blind
     When light to dawn could be as strange

     As fear of loss renounces love
     So dreams are stilled before their due
     My relevance is to rise above
     With heart to bravely live life true...

Winged Warrior February 22, 2017 at 9:27 PM Should have placed Charlie...don't know about that Seeker dude lol...god bless...^WW^ Charlie Smith February 22, 2017 at 11:30 PM Didn't get it entered in time, doesn't really matter, I hardly ever place well in the contests, I like to enter though. I always seem to have a harder time coming up with a theme than I do writing the poem so the contests make it easier...thanks for the thought...
