Fear 1
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Fear
So, Powerful... Firmly gripping
Dropping chain-reaction tears
Emotion packed explosions...
Shattering your will
Exposed to a side of you that caves
makes you want to scream in terror,
Grab someone you love and bolt
Makes your collective intelligence shut down...
Brings all your aspirations… of succeeding
Tumbling down, makes you lose your breath...
Frozen in a state of paralysis
Feel so close to death it makes you cringe.
So scared, you’ll feel the need to be strapped
…and call for backup,
Get a near enemy to get your back
Even if you're strong you’ll break down in tears
Brings thoughts Be they icy cold or fiery hot
Homing into the sense of who you are…
From ground zero to your place among the stars
When you recover, you will be another person
Wiser, armed with new visions
Which will serve you and build your world
Stronger over the years
Now that you …have conquered
Fear
