Fear Poems | Examples of Fear Poetry

Tangled in Haze
Who am I to be in pain,? When no blood gushes through my vein? Why be ecstatic when it rains, Doesn’t it end up in the drain? Why am I drenched in disdain, When I take a trip down the memory lane? Is it love, or just a glance I seek, Is the world too calloused or am I too meek? Made of...

Instant Potato Mix
I’ve never learned the art of a reliable recipe, only the art of guessing who might eat it. I will learn what you love, the way you take your coffee, that you’d rather have mustard on your sandwich, that you prefer your toothpaste tastes like fruit instead of mint. You see, I try too hard. My food can’t be one flavor— that would...

There I stood at heavens pearly gates Waiting for God to decide my fate I was still a child, though very sick Hoping my passing would be quick. Then an angel suddenly appeared Took my hand and said “not yet dear” “Hold on tight and I’ll fly you home” In a flash I was back in bed alone. Home for me was...

The fear of nothing changing
The rush of emotion stilled The air once consumed by an undiluted energy Now eerily quiet Something lingers in the air Justice? No something louder but hidden A violence so silent It could go unnoticed by those who don't care to see Those who choose wilful ignorance The streets once crowded by protest Now sits empty Brought down from the...

The AI Conundrum
A whisper born of code and light, vast potential, a promising sight-- yet twilight sprawl where circuits reign. Panacea — or pulse of pain? We hold the key, the spark, the fear, to pave the way — far and near....

Premium Member Father and AI Son
Can it be beyond, insane when a brain begets a brain, putting it in competition with its own junior edition? Proud of tot's data retrieval, will he mimic papa's evil, wishing not for an embrace, but ever scheming to replace? I'm rife with distress and bother - will the son turn on the father?...

Premium Member Whispers In The Woods
She heard whispers in the dark of night Deep within the woods Voices of the dead , she thought Or satanic beings who roam in cloaked hoods Standing frozen with fear , breath rapid and low She convinced herself it was only the rustling of the trees As she walked deeper into the darkness A cloaked hooded figure stood watching with...

Premium Member What is it
What drives us forward? The need to be? The need to care? The need to see? What makes us human? The ability to be kind? The ability to think? The ability to show compassion? The ability to cry? What is this life? The nature to grow? The nature to love? The nature to destroy? The nature to kill?...

Premium Member Nightmare
Seeping and crawling came my fear. I couldn’t see it very clear. Tension mounting as it came near, Transforming it into a tear. Anxiously waiting, couldn’t hear, My eyes were staring with a leer. Then I felt it, it seemed so clear. Arriving quickly, it was here. Shimmering, I felt it unfold. Negative thoughts had taken hold. Anguish entered into the fold. I’ll get the light;...

Premium Member Demons I Fight
There are demons I fight That live inside of my head No one knows that they exist I choose to hide them instead They torment my heart And they torment my mind There is no sense of peace That I’m able to quite find I wish they would go away And finally leave me all alone They have...

Premium Member The Absolute Worst
Small things become large in a life at times, appointments made that hang like a sentence over one's head, incarcerating you in fear for a week or more. A pain that won't go away growing into a dozen self diagnosed causes, some serious, some benign until you remember straining to lift a heavy pot yesterday or the day before. Then there are all the “what ifs”...

What Happened Here ?
Finally, the options are revealed The appeal is second to none Tantalized by various speech patterns Shocking, awful, and mistaken Chills travel down the spine Afraid of what's to come At the behest of one's empathy Words cut through obvious defenses Crying to no one's delight The weakness can no longer be withheld Shaking uncontrollably, violating...
