My Heart That is an Abyss

Deep, dark fear blankets me in a shroud,

Unsettling as it may seem,

I refuse to let it tear me apart,

Though, I can’t help but muffle my scream.

 

I worry that if I open my mouth,

I would hear a deafening silence.

Because, I am aware that I am weak at heart,

And a false movement could throw me off balance.

 

I lack the strength to face my fear,

But perhaps it’s because of this;

I don’t know what I’m running from,

In fact, I’m scared to find out what it is.

 

Stupidity, one may easily think,

But it goes beyond that, I tell you my friend.

My heart knows not, a worthy soul,

To confide in until the end.

 

Help is what I seek the most,

In desperate times like this,

So, I ask from you an answer to,

My heart that is an abyss.

I cannot believe you are only 14! Such a mature and relatable piece. You are going to develop into such a spectacular writer, keep reading and keep writing. Absolutely fantastic.
