Invisible Fear

Peekaboo
I see you
But you do not see me

Clammy sweat
Palms get wet
You want to run, be free

Shiver, shake
Wide eyes make
You give a stiffled scream

Unclear doubt
What's about
Feel's like  horrible dream

Heartbeats race
You hide  face
You can't this torture bear

Close behind
Me you'll find
You know my name as Fear

You can't see
Wicked me
But Fear is always near!

Being invisible #2  - Poetry Contest 

Note:
Fear is the companion of everybody. Silient, irrational, omnipresent, and INVISIBLE. Fear always lurks around the corner, it is invisible and strikes one suddenly. It is diffiult to come to terms with it let alone recognise it. The scream of the drowning person, or the suffocating feeling or terror of a phobia, are all manifestations of FEAR - once you face it, it vanishes!

Hi, Skat, am back again. I did visit your blog but could not post my comment as the Captcha was not completely visible even after several refreshes and other stunts. Am pasting the comment here: Awesome contest with awesome theme. Your choice of first position is absolutely bang on. Thank you for the wonderful contest, Skat, and for my poem's placement. Much honored.

Thank you, Funom. And I love your baby the Funom Sonnet. I couldn't really figure out how to write it the first time, but after the results were published I could make out the beauty in the form and style. Will definitely participate in your next Funom Sonnet competition.
