FEAR , I FEAR

The innate fear of the unknown,

Fear of the inevitable known,

Fear of the consequences,

Action that happened in sequences.

Fear of reactions,

Precipitated by past reactions,

The what, when and where,

The who, how and which.

Fear of encounters,

Fear to counter,

Fear of the eyes that pierce,

The face that bears,

The countenance forebears,

What shall I do?

Fear always surrounds me,

Uncertainty pools around me,

Mirth and laughter escape me,

My halo fades,

My past haunts,

My future bleaks,

My mind squeaks,

My heart squeals,

My hands fail,

I get a tail,

I don’t want that mail,

I will break a nail,

What shall I do?

I FEAR.
