Fear

Fear

Deep, down, buried beneath the layers of flesh,

there it is, smiling back at its evil endeavor

of enslaving my thoughts, my beliefs and me.

Its presence, signified by the lack of air,

the rapid heart beats

and the emptiness is exposed more with each passing day.

Surreptitiously, it seeps through my veins

to pervade the essence of dissuasion.

My actions influenced by its charisma,

changes its direction to meet my cowardly reflection,

the image of a terrified human.
