Kim Van Breda Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Things I Fear

THINGS I FEAR

phobia’s vice grips solid
myriads of faceless fears
hidden depths of horror
lie beneath brave 
smokescreen

 tremors of heights vice
take away life’s balance
one wrong move or shift
descending fall
unforeseen

suffocating small spaces
with no way to escape
oxygen depleted
collapses walls
in between

stifling crowded places
too many strange faces
weigh down heavily
crushing spaces
inner peace
 
strangling freedom
fighting demons

Paul Callus May 16, 2015 at 6:07 PM Hi Kim! Enclosed spaces and heights are common phobias, but they are no simple issues for those who suffer from them. They can be treated hypnotically, thus throwing the demons out! #7 // paul
