Timing:The Art of War

its as if INCUBUS IS SITTING BACK THERE JUST WAITING TO TORMENT ME I MAY LOOK WOUNDED but its an ILLUSION THE GREAT MAN what does He want all of a sudden whats His game i know His intentions are good but im TIRED of being protected L A T C H I N G onto it may distort my memories i try to let go but the fear paralyzes me its a mixture of REALITY and FANTASY i havent REPRESSED any of it the slate is CLEAR MENTAL STABILITY PROPERLY PREPARED PATIENT confirming my preconception that WE ARE ALL USELESS AND WEAK when we sleep VISCERALLY IM READY TO BEGIN THIS NEW JOURNEY

This is strong writing..putting the old self in that grave and becoming new.. life begins when we know who we are and what our purpose is..you have figured that out, thus the life you led before is learning tool that makes going forward a joy..respect sista.

First of all i must this is a very artistical piece, and very well put together flawless so to speak, with a very powerful experience. i believe we all go thru those experirnces at some point in our lives. we all fear fear, but the most important thing is that we don't Succumb to that fear. Do it afraid. great write Abe

Very well written poem Brandy, the dread and nightmare of being taken in your sleep, or the wanting to take that journey by the demon or spirit, James

There are times we all feel like life is "a misture of reality and fantasy," but you have taken this confused state to a new level in your excellent poem, Brandy. You are a strong woman who has had to deal with a lot in your past. How wonderful that you have emerged from this as a unique, creative voice who is capable of describing her feelings so well. Love, Carolyn

Wow I Like This. Your Lines "Incubus, Is Sitting Back There Just Waiting To Torment Me" and "I Try To Let Go But The Fear Paralizes Me" Are Amazing, And Show Passion. Nice Job <3 BooBoo
