My Greatest Fear

My Greatest Fear

 

 

 

 

_{My fear  isnt about}

 _{Being a lonely old hag nobody wants to be around}

 _{Getting into a crash and not being able to walk}

 _{Dying and being the devils little torture doll}

_{Spiders crawling all over my body}

_{Tight dark spaces that will crush me}

 

_{Oh no}

 

_{My fear is greater than that}

_{It’s the fear of having my family judge my writing}

_{Just think of what would be going through their minds}

 

       _{That goes through her head?}

        _{Is she really thinking about doing that?}

              _{She really needs to see a therapist!}

 

_{I don’t mind having the whole world}

_{judge my writing}

_{But when my family is reviewing it}

_{I get tight knots in my stomach} 

My Greatest Fear is..

_{If they think I’m going crazy..}

The good and the bad.... I'm not very good at sugar-coating and I don't believe it helps.... I'll start with the bad.... Grammar is important, as is spelling. 'Toture', 'then' should be than and 'hole' should be 'whole' to name a couple. Little things really, but if you aspire to be published, those things could make the difference.

Okay, now the good, and there is good in it!! =) I think you give great insight into your inner thoughts and feelings. I really like the first paragraph. You portray yourself as being afraid, without being fearful.

Keep writing.... you've got something going on here =)

i don't know much about poetry, but I like the subject. me, well, I just don't even let my family see my writing.

[~*~Peace Keeper~*~]

no kiddin i kinda agree with you there.
Great Job

[BlackRose]

Thats cool, and kind of funny. I'm not too worried about it because my family doesn't know anything about this. I like to keep these things a secret. Awesome piece!

OH MY LORD! I MUST FAVORITE THIS - no wait, I'll favorite and then print it and HANG IT ON THE WALL.
This is my new manifesto.
My family - they do think I am a taco shy of a combo meal.
this is a great write.

I know exactly how you feel, I told my sisters and my parents that this site was blocked to them, even though they should know that its not possible to do that. I am very lucky they believed me.

I enjoyed this, I have some of the fears at the beginning so I was wondering where this could lead to, but I so agree! I am totally comfortable with people I don't know reading my work but never tell my parents what I'm writing about, mostly because I never told them things in the first place. Anyway, a very unique write, good job!

I must admit that I do not know the prose of poetry very intimately. I do know only that I like it or I don't. This is something that I am not sure if I do or do not. It is a true fear for many kinds of writers of an age or family bond that teeters upon the simple approval or disapproval of family. I do not care what family thinks of what I write. I care more about the reader who is reading to entertain themselves and not judge me by some relativity of family standard. Yet, the fear is what makes a writer into an inspired one.

It certainly is a horrendous fear to have. Good write.

[Jennika has a short att..]

I love this poem, you kick out possible fears(some of which I fear) and when you actually state your fear I was shocked. I've never had that fear realized because I don't show my parents my writing. All in all, great work.

I have to laugh as I read through the poem. It so resembles my own fears. You see; writers have a tendency as to being somewhat odd. We go to places that no man nor woman would ever try to go in reality but in literature, we can whisk a reader from their confines of the mundane and into a world of intrigue or even better yet, HORROR. I loved the poem. Nicely written with a bit of the humor that writers should always have. Go on and be afraid.
