Like a knife it slices thin.
Slowly like a full blade.
The pain felt through out the body.
And ever bearing abundance
That will never go away.
Inside you'll scream.
You'll cry.
Hoping and praying this pain
Will forever go away!
But in your heart you'll know
No such remedy exists.
Crouch down.
Hold yourself.
Rock back and fourth.
It won't save your soul.
Won't protect you from what you
fear.
Even then it's the fear
Of fear itself that kills you.
The fact of not knowing what to
Be afraid of and what not.
It clouds your mind
And their for clouds your thoughts.
To overcome this
Is to court strength into
What is visually unknown.
To put aside all that cause
You to break down and cast
Off all emotions.
To be free... As you will
Is to be heartless.
To not feel anything at all.
So that when these nightmares
Come back you'll be awaken
Not of fear but of full rest.
Only thinking you've done your best
To cloud the monster that lies
Beneath your mind.
Just itching for every way to get
inside.
Leaving you but a pile of ash,
That was too scared to protect
Your own ass.
All I can think about right now is you.
not knowing if you are o.k
not knowing just what to say.
not knowing anything
and imaging the worst.
everytime I think of you
my hearts about to burst
I love you with all my heart
and I fear to let you alone
I guess the worst fear
is the fear of the unknown..
The demon is knocking at my door once more
His very breath rumbles the door,
as a mist fills both my room and heart
Is this mist a manisfestation of fear itself,
Or fear beyond the treshold of fear
Fear whatever it maybe it beckons me,
My feet, to move, move and move until
My unwilling hands caress the door knob
The door knob turns when my hand turns
The door creaks as my heart creaks,
The mist settles to reveal,
To reveal a mirror reflecting
an image of
I in the darkness.
Fear is holding me back.
Fears standing in my way.
Fears always on my mind.
Dreaming of fear every night.
Running from fear every day.
Fear in my eyes.
Fear in my heart.
Fear in my thoughts.
Fears taking over me.
Don't know how.
Don't know why.
Where to turn?
I'm scared.
I worry.
Fear.
Years ago, I would have acted differently.
Full of emotion, of energy, of life.
But now I hold back. I avoid that which may hurt me.
The old saying “It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all,”
is a truth I suppress into the inner confines of my heart.
For I’m nearly a grown man and the man I want to be is cold and emotionless.
Is it the fear of loss that drives this ambition?
A fear of commitment?
No.
It is the embarrassment of being different.
The cold world around me dresses in red and I once dressed in green.
Curious glances at my nature stung like a thousand bees. So I hide my true color
under a false red jacket.
I zip it up so securely that my difference, though concealed underneath,
is but a memory of the courage, the embarrassment, I once dared to show.
For I’m nearly a grown man and the man I want to be is a coward.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
But that we are more powerful beyond measure.
If we are truthful with ourselves, we will admit,
that it is our flaws that we treasure.
It is not our darkness we are afraid of, but it is our light.
We are afraid of our true potential.
That is what instills fright.
So we hide it from ourselves and keep it confidential.
It is not the thought of feeling small,
or even the thought of failing and having to fall.
Our deepest fear is us liberating ourselves and our mind,
and seeing our full potential, not just what we've already shined.
For if we let our true light shine through,
then we automatically let those around us shine too.
The Fortress of My Heart
I've taken all the stones
sinners cast in their disgrace
and used them to build castles
that surround the secret place
where I hide all my sorrows
and the guilt that I can't face
with hope that some tomorrow
will finally bring his grace
I've picked up every piece
of slack to clear the way
for people to run by me
who don't ask if I'm okay
they just bask in all the spoils
while I slave my life away
but I've given all I have
and there's no road left to follow
I need you now to be the one
who gets me through tomorrow
I've learned that love is all I fear
I fear the fear of losing things
that I don't know I even want
cause pain is all it brings

Is it your fear of attachment
Written By Dean Masciarelli
November 5, 2010 (8:01am)
Is it your fear of attachment
That has prevented you from having
a
fulfilling and rewarding relationship
Because you are truly
afraid of getting hurt
Believe me if it is I know
what you are talking about
Because at one point or another
we have all experienced
the aftermath of dealing with
the emptiness that we have felt
Especially after we have
had
to deal with a broken heart
Because it seems to take
a life time to get over it
And that’s why it has been so difficult
for
anyone that has gone through the hurt
But it is just not healthy and you
have to let go of the resentment
So that you can get over your fear of attachment
and finally have a fulfilling and
longer lasting relationship that is solid and concrete
Darkness lies in silence, an ethereal stillness therein,
A wave of fear flows through you, you start to shiver within;
Your heart it beats so crazy, you cannot stop it from its fright,
From all the things imagined, that might go bump in the night.
So you start to wonder, is it just your imagination running wild?
Then you hear a twig snap, and you revert back to a child;
all the fear within you, escalates beyond your control,
and so you start to run, yet it seems you run so slow!
All the while behind you, something's on your trail,
You lumber on in the madness, of your own created hell;
Every branch on every tree, seems to come to life,
They reach for you with bony fingers, into your soul they slice!
Suddenly the day breaks, the darkness fades away,
You see the trees for what they are, as their branches gently sway;
Then you laugh at yourself, for all the fright you felt,
As you follow the path before you, and your fear begins to melt!
What is fear
In the eye of a man
Is it the thing
That over whelms you?
That makes you fall to your knees
Or is it the pain
You feel when your heart
Has just been broken
Is fear that voice that tells you that
You can’t go on
Or that you can’t do it anymore
Is it the thing that stops you?
From ending up with a bullet
In your chest
Does fear make your
Heart race
Does fear make you jump?
Does it make you shake?
When you know you did something wrong
Does it make you cry?
When you feel pain
Fear is every thing
Can you tell me
What you think
Fear is?
Mien philosophy of life,
Begins with a decent style
And deals with simplicity
which is always there in vicinity.
Things which tend to be difficult
Are actually the easiest
As if it was overloaded
In a manner which was not needed
One should never take or give burden
But must find his own road to walk upon
And ought not to give birth to complexity
As beauty lies only in simplicity
I don't fear from any labor or any hurdle
All i think is not to fear
Btu to face it with a unique simplicity
As if it was only , by my way.
Mine philosophy of life
Ends with perfection
Which may be treated as nonsense
As same as an invention...
-viv1
.... I won't make it real.
If there is nothing to fear
but fear itself, why is anything scary?
Like waiting for test results
knowing its all in God's hands
anyway, why fear the worst?
Will I die?
Of course I will, but not today.
Never come what may ... today.
Is it time to merge into traffic?
If I don't say it ...
the laundry will still get done,
then I'll have some fun,
won't have to run.
To where?
I'm always over there
anyway, why hope for new
or different, or that a mirror
won't be there.
Here comes the elevator again.
I don’t fear rage, wrath, or consequence
I travel on unbothered my failures and disappointments
I go on untouched by opinion
Living in my own dominion
I love the noise
The chaos
The earth braking intensity I’ve been blessed to see the world in
I don’t fear pain or injury whether it be emotional or physically
I fear no man, no malicious plan, no wicked destiny
I don’t even fear hate…in fact I love that too
I love it when they try and tear me down, after all haters need love too
I don’t fear my end, my demise
For every triumph and failure, every pat on the back and every slap in the face lets me
know I’m awake and living another day
No monster, lion, tiger, no bear, no demon, no devil, could ever cause me fear!
But I am not fearless…I am no heroine
My fear comes when the wind stops
When whispers can no longer be heard seeping throw thin walls
When the yelling, the yelps, and the laughter seems to cease
I fear somber silent days and nights filled with the living but lacking life.
I fear the day I cease to live while still living
Were I can offer no more to the chaos, the noise, the catastrophe that makes us all WANT
to move and breathe
I just fear the silence
Life has many fears,
Every fear is differfent,
Some of spiders,
Some of bee's,
Some of other humans,
Some just of failure,
Some are just afraid if they stop for even a second and look in a mirror,
They might see the real them,
Some fears are greater than others,
My fear,
Well my fear is to not be accepted,
To not be loved,
My fear is the fear of truly being myself around others.
What is your fear?
Take a very close look and think about your fears....
You are only in this place I call never-Never Land,
I love you so much though.
You’re everything I dream of having,
Come down to the world.
My protective, blonde-haired, beautiful eyed prince,
Come down and save your princess.
In Never-Never Land you hold me tight.
I have no pain nor fear the night.
I hold no fear for the following day,
And know that you are there for me.
Come out of Never-Never Land and,
Be with me forever.
I don’t want to have to close my eyelids,
Just to see my love.
I hear you in the night time.
You’re always calling my name.
At times you scream for help,
But I can’t find you anywhere.
I awake in terror,
Knowing you’re in suffering.
I want to be able to save you,
But you’re only a figment of my imagination.
