Life you gave, yet fear you bred

one of my older pieces

 

From deep within it surges

Filling the emptiness with dread and fear

You are nearly here, of this I am sure

The key against the gate I can hear

 

My heart races, I brake into a cold sweat.

My legs start to tremble, my hands start to shake

It is getting hard to breath, to even take a breath,

The front door opens, how much more can I take.

 

I can not breath, I dare not stand.

At my desk I sit, home work papers I shuffle

You look into my room and grunt to my existence

Should you see my fear, you would only chuckle.

 

From deep with in it surges

Filling the emptiness, where love should live

Hold me close or do you fight the urges

Don’t you see, all to you I would give?

To fear anything is dreadful, but even worse when it is someone who is supposed to love you and care for you. Scarily too many can relate to this.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Sounds of a kid who fears his parent or parents... very sad when they use fear instead of love to nurture the child... Nicely done.

An actual feeling in here that I feel I can relate too. This poem is truly ageless and can describe any culture or situation if look hard enough. I really like it. Well done, mate! :)
