Fear

Written after a heated conversation with some guy who apparently thinks he knows me so well.

I'm not saying that I know you at all
I know quite clearly that I do not
Maybe you've tasted some pain,
And know the feeling of being fatally shot

But you don't know me either.
You are the spoilt one here.
You've not seem the same hell that I have.
Or had the terrible sense of crippling, trapping fear...

Author's Note

Don't judge a book by its cover, folks.

That's the worst, though, isn't it? When someone doesn't understand and is so damn convinced that they do? There's no way of getting around whatever's trapping them into thinking they know everything you're going through. There's simply no way out. You describe this feeling very well in this poem. Great, great work.

Hum this person you talk about sounds very
Interesting. He must be a cool guy if he inspired
You to write this. I overall love the emotion that went
Into writing this. Good job :)

That last line was chilling... made me shiver a bit. Well done! Great poem, sad topic.
