Terrified

I’ve been having nightmares every night. They seem so real and It’s extremely hot and I feel trapped and I can't breathe. But each time my torcher ends when I hear bells and alarms ringing in the distance. I’m no longer a rookie this is my se- cond year and love what I do. People often refer to me a as a hero but I’m no hero I’m a coward. I’m terrified of my job and don’t think I can go on like this. I am a firefighter who is spooked by fire. My team went in response to a fire last week, and it was a normal routine. But this in particular fire was out of control. And it had a mind of its own. I froze and I was terrified and my life flashed before my eyes. The only life that I wanted to save was my own. Now does that sound like a hero or a coward? Inspired by a drama series called Station 19 It's a spin off from Grey’s Anatomy 7-28-19 Alexis Y.

Fears are meant to be conquered. Heroes conquer their fears and go on to do amazing things. I believe that they too battle such doubts.. Love this prose.. A fav my friend.....

I think many heroes are terrified but somehow they push through the fear. Wellexpressed.

Very dramatic poetic re-enactment of real-life fear situations, Alexis. I was on the edge of my seat reading this thriller. Such honest ink spilled to still the doubt wildfire. Outstanding poetry. Love and hugs, lady.

Fears such as the one describe are very real and can immobilize a person..emotions that person feels are well captured in your poem Alexis.
