Terror Within Peace
I sense everyone’s eyes on ME,
Instead, I look down upon MYSELF,
Forgetting no opinion matters but I,
My decision to look to you,
Infused, within me, terror of THEM,
Doing nothing, to calm my heart
Astoundingly, remorse seemed to vanish,
Converted to a renewed determination,
It was all rather inevitable,
Bound to happen they say,
Silver lining, through the dark
Reality is too vivid,
Dangerous clouds forming over,
Abruptly, for a millisecond,
I look at THEM!
I see nothing;
Absolutely Nothing, Fear
Starts creeping back…
Glassy eyes,
Worry, Fatigue
Peace!
