Fear Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

Fear causes paralysis
Emotions are all numbed
Thoughts go may blank
As one becomes deaf and dumb.

Fear closes our eyes
To glaring truth that stares
Accepting all the lies
In silence, without care.

Fear locks our doors
To the beauty of life and choices
We lose sight of what we live for
Surrendered to muted voices.

Fear is a daily death
Like walls in a coffin sealed
An existence in useless breath
A vessel that can never be filled.

Hurts are kept locked up
No sound, just feeling empty
We can't even say 'That's enough! '
There's no sense of what's to be free.
