Notes About The Poem

The Only Thing To Fear, Is Fear Itself

I'm engulfed by the pitch and the feeling of dread Unprepared for the rage that stalks like the dead It seizes my dreams, leaving nightmares of rot It is only my fear, that consumes me instead of the things that are real, and things that are not

Oh this took lots of work! Love how carefully the words were played and your ability to make us feel that impending doom. Yes, felt the fear & the chill! Nice one.
