A Greatest Fear

What do you fear?

A Greatest Fear

 

A dark field is all she sees,

The light does not enter closed lid,

Stormy weather is all she hears,

Soft breeze cannot enter shut ear,

 

Pain resonating through the hills,

Screaming agony echoing upon an ear,

Lungs lazily attempting to take in air,

All hopes to survive deleted from her mind,

 

Voice gone, throat raw,

Her cheeks forever damp,

Her skin broken, stained red,

Attempts to find a shred of hope futile,

 

Acceptance is the last stage,

People normally celebrate,

Acceptance all that left in her heart,

No one stood there trying to help,

 

Silence was her only friend,

Not much of a friend at times,

Allowing the cunning and cruel thoughts,

To run rampant throughout the hours,

 

A greatest fear is supposed to keep us human,

Is there any room for life or hope?

When fear is the main emotion,

What is there left for her to become,

 

Can you call a shell of a girl, alive?

She is not yet dead, but she does not live,

No one to hold her hand through the hard,

No one to laugh through the glimpses of easy,

 

If no one stands by her side,

Will anyone notice if she slips from the system of earth?

Will any shed singular tear at the demise?

She was not always this way, they did this,

 

A dark field is all she sees,

No end within sight, very little light,

Screaming agony echoing upon an ear,

The pain of being all alone ending all,

 

A greatest fear is supposed to keep us human,

The fear of being alone creates pain,

But a deeper pain is installed,

When being alone is all your future holds.
