Fear

The eleventh dark poem in the series inpired by Dharrsheena.

This is my eleventh dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.

It is said that the only thing we should fear is fear itself. I do not agree, fear is a good thing. It lets you try to prepare for whatever is coming, whether you are able to deal with it or not. Fear occurs when you are not in control of a situation, but still have to deal with it.

This is a sonnet listing things that may cause us fear.

The music is John Caleโ€™s โ€œFearโ€ with itโ€™s refrain โ€œFear Is A Manโ€™s Best Friendโ€

๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€

I Fear That Which I Canโ€™t Control

When Up A Height I Fear The Fall

I Know Iโ€™m A Creature Of Light

But Darkness Makes Me Fear The Night

๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€

Losing Friends Fearing Loneliness

Canโ€™t Ask For Help, Start Feeling Stress

On This Dark Street, I Fear Attack

And I Am Lost, I Canโ€™t Turn Back

๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€

Where Thereโ€™s Water, I Fear Drowning

Where Thereโ€™s A Fire, I Fear Burning

Where Thereโ€™s No Light, I Fear Darkness

Where Thereโ€™s An Axe, I Am A Carcass

๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€

I Fear The Pain, My Heartโ€™s Shredded

Vultures Strip My Flesh,Lifeโ€™s Ended

๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€
