The Fear Inside

The fear inside

Overpowers my body...

My mind...

Like a tornado that's

Storming through a town

Everything I've know...

Dreamed about...

Even felt...



Has been swept up

Only to be destroyed and left as

A distant memory...



Tied at the wrists

By the barbed wire

That once guarded my heart

Now pierces my flesh

Drawing blood...



I'm pulled in different directions

Neither one seeming to lead

To safety...



The fear inside

Overwhelming...

Takes the breath from my lungs

Keeping me from giving voice

To how I feel

Trapped in this maze

Not knowing the way to go

Wondering where is the light

That used to guide me now...



I wonder...

I liked this a lot. It has

I liked this a lot. It has lots of emotions and is well written. You described fear very well.
Made me think of things that I'm afraid of deep inside. Keep writing. :)
