Jensen Hood Poems
Fear is not what I am afraid of.
True, it is a frightful thing to fear;
But the fear of fearing fear is overwhelming
Especially when its form becomes sheer
...
I crawl through a thorny trail,
Dragging my body along with only my soul,
Both have given up all hope,
Grief has taken toll.
...
inside I'm crying
outside I'm smiling
no one notices
but its hard for me to control these feelings
...
Into this world with a curse upon my name
For wherever I walk I coward in fear
People turning their heads to judge
Different people different faces
...
When morning wears crown,
with white light of early dawn
When the sun goes down,
and day removes its gown
...

The Best Poem Of Jensen Hood
Fear
Fear is not what I am afraid of.
True, it is a frightful thing to fear;
But the fear of fearing fear is overwhelming
Especially when its form becomes sheer
Fear is like losing a tree of shade on a bristling day
Or losing your breath when you fall below the sea;
I fear this fear of fearing these fears
And it is this fear that is part and parcel of me.
Fear is like loving without being loved back,
Fear is like leaving without being left;
And the fear of loving and leaving and being loved and being left
Is opposed by the fear of not fearing anything
And being an empty vase, noisy and bereft
I fear not death nor do I fear life,
But I fear the fear of both as my peers;
If I could release one fear from my fears
It would be the fear of fearing these fears.
