Fear

Fear  [feer] –noun a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.

I stand, the night closing around me, I stare into the dark whirlpool of black, I feel the cold wind lash at my skin, I am afraid. Nowhere to turn, Nowhere to go, Lost in the woods, Stranded in a void of nothingness. Rustling of leaves, Silence. Light footsteps, Silence. Frozen I stand, My heart racing in my chest, The silence like a thick blanket, There is a tap on my shoulder. I force myself to move, I turn, I see, I  Scream!

kept me interested, leaving the ending open gives a sense of wonder. What did you see? I like it.

Kinda reminds me of the time I got lost in the woods, how easy it is to get turned around. But as you can tell, i found my way out :) this was a great poem.

I really like it! I dream in ways that lead me to my notebook. Reading this it sounds as if it is the deffinition of my brain. Thanks for the great read!

Very imaginary, it makes me think of being lost in the woods, or of a nightmare. Creative, (:
