Dad...

I fear voices

Loud voices

People's screams

Even laughter

I fear sleep!

When I close my eyes

While counting sheep

I hear tears

I fear people, I fear men

I hear chaos, I hear pain

Under the roof

Inside four walls

Father

How am I suppose to tell you

That you are

The cause of my fears

[Echoes of Eros]

One can feel the anxiety and fear rising with each sighing line, yet the ending still stuns the soul to aching. You created this painful path so vividly, Adriani. xo

[Relic's Bare Trees]

If she heard the voices at night in bed, that's where demons come out, especially as a child. The affects could be long lasting.

[Misery]

An honest poem, a soul's confession set to a delicate rhyme.
Nicely written, dear poet. I hope you will share many more honest creations.

Dark and emotive piece here...

[Jen Walters]

Such a powerful poem and about such a negative subject. A child should never fear their parent. Ever. Thanks for sharing such a wonderfully written poem and have a great day.
