The War On Fear
60
The War on Fear
~the thing which I fear
~is placed in my path
~haunting painful memories
~laughing me to scorn
~one by one
~they stand in my way
~obscuring my vision
~of the truth I seek
~appearing out of nowhere
~suddenly like giants
~returning again
~until I cut them to ribbons
~as tall as they are
~they've been with me long
~it seems that today
~face them down I must
~for each time I have run
~they gain stature
~when they return
~they are stronger
~the man of war within
~wants to rid my house of them
~they've brought shame to my life
~causing me to be numb
~do not know where I got them
~nor where they come from
~I swing flaming sword
~another one falls to the ground
~great and terrible
~the awful sound
~finally I see the last one
~more fierce than the others
~I recognize him now
~he is just like his brothers
~and this battler rages
~what seemed like for days
~till I pierced him through
~and he vanished in the haze

As am I yours.
Did you like this one too? =)

cool sorry
This is wisdom and understanding of fear. Keep swinging that sword warrior.
Simply spectacular...Well done! Thoroughly enjoyed this one...and can see that tantrum liked it...as well. What a gripping narrative you held on the reader...I only wish...I had written something like this :) !
Erikah and manlypoetryman:
Thanks for the encouragement and kind words.
I can only say the words came straight from experience and not imagination.
I was trying to be transparent and let people see a bit into my struggles.
I too was gripped by it as I wrote it on my porch during a cold Winter morning.
I wrote another the night before and you can find here if you like.
