Fearful Felony


I stand on the little ledge,

My legs tragically tremble

Like a quivering quake,

As I look down at the gracious ground.

I try to move my fragile body,

But my balmy bones

Won't move.

Because I am

Paralyzed

By

Fear.

My heart blustery beats

Like a blistering bomb,

As I look down at the gorgeous ground.

I try to catch my erratic breath,

By my limp lungs

Won't inhale.

Because I am

Suffocated

By

Fear.

My body feverishly falls,

Like a towering tree,

As I look down at the glamorous ground.

I try to move my fragile body

But my balmy bones

Won't move.

Because I am

Assaulted

By

Fear.

My heart suddenly stops

Like a cursory car,

As I look down at the gracious ground.

And become

Paralyzed,

Suffocated,

And,

Assaulted

By

Fear.

It's a great piece. You have caught that moment of fear nicely. And I loved the alliteration there in that line 'My heart blustery beats like a blistering bomb'. And also 'feverishly falls' and 'suddenly stops'.

Thank you so much for the review, it is greatly appreciated.
Nicely captured. fear can strike us all at any time, in a number of ways and can be incomprehensible to those around, but deathly real to those in the midst of it. I once heard someone say their biggest fear was being fearful, I get what they mean by that. Once you taste fear, you don't want seconds.
Great write.
