You think you know fear?

You think you know fear?

A Poem by Douglas Levi Gribbins
"

Main description: A short poem about fear itself and just how deep you can get into what it is.

"
There's a fool that lived a dark
Unspeakable, silent life
But that's all laugh at the start
Until you gift him with a knife

Now he's vanished from the room
Someone's taken out the lights
As soon as you notice the full moon
The beast comes out from the night

You think you know fear?

You think you know fear?

Now it's coming back to you
The shoves, your words,your post, the fights
And your soul retreats down to hell
Once you finally see his eyes

As you quiver in your fear
You're an sitting duck on ice
You want to cry golden tears
As he lets you meet your own demise.

You think you know fear?

You think you know fear?

Now you're alone in the room
All other souls are outside
You break out five little words
"I thought you committed suicide."

Author's Note

Douglas Levi Gribbins
My family is currently going through a huge tragedy causing my father to lose his job, the only person where i live who works, since mother is extremely sick and cant get a job, and myself, who is ineligible to work due to me not being able to get a drivers license.
I came up with this off the top of my head, no thinking, If I can do this, that's a bit of talent, right?
I'd like to ask you, the reader, this.....If you enjoy my work, PLEASE...share it? Do something that helps me spread to a wider audience...I'm not asking you to share it nonstop to make me famous, no....I just want my work to be appreciated enough for someone to notice and maybe get me a writing job or me be a freelancer writer....and maybe then I can support the family a bit because at this time, pretty much everyone is either ALWAYS at work, On drugs, or always in the hospital, this is probably my "Last Breath" but it's just worth a try...Thank you for reading.
