Fear
Fear is the black hole inside your mind.
Just like death... it'll swallow you whole.
It's the drowning feeling that swells your lungs.
Fear in itself, is painless.
It's only the object of your fear that causes you such harm.
Fear is the color of your imagination.
Deep, vivid... all too real.
It smiles back at you while you cringe and heave breathlessly in its grasp.
Fear is the soft caress of your worst nightmare coming true.
It's the tears and the screams as you release your hold on life.
Fear is quite powerful.
It'll crush your throat and leave you helpless.
Like a deer caught in the headlights, you freeze... until it's too late.
Then again, you could always just remember that old phrase, "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself."
Fear is simply a mere display of one's self in the eyes of another with those unwanted qualities.
It is the darkness that dwells under our beds and makes us run for the door.
It's the tales of the monsters in fairy tales.
Fear is the eyes that hold you captive in a trance.
It's that horrible inkling in the pit of your stomach when you know something's wrong.
Fear is loving someone that you shouldn't.
It's that forbidden connection that two share, but only one is aware of.
It's the rejection that one feels when love's head turns away.
Fear is the distaste that is seen on the faces of those who don't send of their approval... but only of their disapproval.
It's the heart wrenching sense of being alone.
Fear is that unwanted notion that people just won't accept you.
It's the knowledge that you'll never live up to their expectations.
It's knowing that the world thinks your different.
Fear is the sound of a person choking on their own blood.
It's never ending and all too existent.
Fear is what I feel when I think of the future.
So many people ready to depose another just for race, and religion, and beliefs upon life.
It's them not caring what about the hurt you've went through or the sacrifices you've made of yourself.
Fear is just there.
It'll never go away, and all must deal with its consequences.
