Best Terrified Poems

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-

Be invisible. Be invisible. Be invisible. It was Jacob’s mantra.
He could taste metal in his bile; he was terrified.
Don’t make eye contact, he told himself. Do not look at the man.
The Nazi soldier came over to check to see whether he wore the star.
Jacob kept...

Bishop of our souls, looked below.
His blood, a flow.
Life, gave it all —
so great our fall.

The great I Am entombed. Presumed
that mankind’s doomed!
Angels abide
by Jesus side.

Of scripture, death is terrified.
His eyes are wide
when Jesus wakes —
bides fire in lakes.*

Lester’s parents decided to homeschool him.
Mommy and Daddy had both been bullied when they were kids.
Kids are horrible, they told Lester.
We will not have any other kids, so you can be bully-free.

Lester was glad they were his parents.
They took care of him in all ways.
Feeding...

The elegance of your proclamation,
Enchanting divinity of your tone.
Quaking and naïve, hidden by laughter.
My embrace belies my apprehension.

The distilled belief that you perspire
Is a pheromone that intimidates.
Gestures of your assertive intent
Arouses a medley of emotions....

Hello again dear entry
dear sweet entry
Forgive me dear entry
Can you find it in your pages to forgive me
I apologize for my constant absence
and my consistence of being forgetfully incomplete
I could name every reason why I have sadly been away
why I have been covertly afraid
yet it...

I am terrified of snakes he reported.
I thought his story was a tiny distorted.
I fainted away on my grandpa’s big farm.
When one ran across my feet next to the barn.

How old were you? Young? About for?
It was two summers ago. No more.
I looked at this...

Memories 
Thoughts 
Feelings
Fatal game that they play
Rerunning in mind
Like vinyl stuck on replay

They tell of a story
Many years ago
A little girl
Wounded by the evil world
Found by a soldier to save her soul
From bright vibrant colour
Happiness And warmth

The story suddenly all turned to red
To blood
To words...

Among the stars the soul flew

Gathering wisdom divine

Planet earth in triumph reached, 

Bounced terrified!

You make me 
Terrified of myself...
The way I loved you
Before I let myself
Love you-
The way I need you
To hold my hand
To feel whole-
I can't help but
Touch you, but 
Touching you-
Being touched 
By you-
Feels like height,
Feels like falling...
Feels like I want
To keep falling...
But how far
Can I...

Jaws the movie
duh duh duh duh
duh duh duh duh
the music gives me chills
you know the cadence.
it can never be used again
for another movie
unless it is 2085
then maybe...

Kitchen rat with the ugliest pinkest tail
Jumped on the table and drank Daddy’s ale
I was frightened for he was as large as me.
Where could I hide? Under a cup for tea?

I slid into place with the cup on my head.
Holding my breath, for I felt...

With Trump Became Terrified and Horrified

With Trump we had become terrified
How long will he have lied and lied
Telling them in dynamic proportion
And thrown in jail due to distortion
Threw away key and he cried and cried.

Feels right to wake up fore the sun
Make coffee.
Sit up, not stopping over in a corner
Customarily unaffordable mornings
Trapped against my own wall 

The chattering is soothing
When the back drop of the noise box
Has subsided.

My dreams I care not for
The pretty dresses or tap shoes
Just a...
