Fears

Stranded in the caverns of darkness, I am convulsed with fears, and confounded by delusions. They get morphed into aches and pains. Apparitions enter, unlocking the doors. With razor sharp canine teeth, they claw into my neck, tearing me apart, making me reel. They raid me at night and day. Fears! You lowly demons, when shall I escape your evil schemes? Don’t boast that you are victors! I shall vanquish you. Will never let my spirit be caged. Surely someday, I shall, break free from your clutch!

Fear can be our ruin. Two weeks of persistent pain but the end is not far away, dear Valsa. I will be cured, God willing.

Valsa, nice imagery on how fears grapple our emotions and soul. We all come out of its grip with determination.

This poem uses strong words and pictures to show how emotions can affect us, Valsa. It's like they are tearing us apart and making us feel dizzy. Emotions come to bother us all the time, just like fear does. It's a really good way to describe how fear feels.

Valsa I really like your vivid imagery, like 'razor sharp canine teeth' and 'never let my spirit be caged' - very striking metaphors of fear of the monsters in the dark~
