I fear FEAR.

The fear of fear - phobophobia.

I feel fear

 - a cold blade, twisting in my gut.

 

I taste fear

 - bile - bitter and sour- rising to my mouth.

 

I see fear

 - darkness, blinding me to the world.

 

I touch fear

 - the air, moving beneath trembling fingers.

 

I breath fear

 - leaded air in my chest, crushing my lungs.

 

I am afraid of this emotion

 - Fear.

 

Author's Note

I wrote this poem - an hour before i had to enter my examination hall! :P i hardly learnt anything - i know that FEAR is much more than that, but all i could do then was sit and doodle in my book - and well this came out....

yeah my notebook has more doodle poetry than school notes I try my best not to leave any poems on the exam papers though this was really a good description of how you felt at the time you also described acid reflux to a tee as well XD

This was brilliant... And so true. I think this poem describes something that we all feel. But we mistake that feeling for something else because it isn't apparent to us.
