Fear

This is a double poem. Dont forget to read it from bottom to top.

Fearful.

Not

Fearless

I am

fear.

no

There is

fear in me?

Will I fear the future?

of what is to come

I know the answers,

Yes.

Will I be the best?

How will it play out?

These questions still haunt me

trying to stop these consuming thoughts

won’t work for me.

Being stagnant

I will always say

back down and

never

Grow up

inspire to always

be lazy and unwilling to go out

refuse to

Stand up.

But my mind says

What if its too late?

That one question plagues my mind.

Just sit there and watch

don't

you see

that's going to be you

Blindly running to everything that's already gone.

That’s referred to as,

in my vocabulary.

hidden, not found

covered

Fear.

Read it from top to bottom, then bottom to top.

That is absolutely amazing. The double meaning within the poem is so strong and reflective it definitely works both ways- but I would definitely have to point out that the bottom to top poem has a more mental effect! Well done!
