Fear Poem by Jessica Gabanyic

Fear



It's like that feeling,
That forms in the pit of your stomach,
The kind of feeling that cripples you,
Where you find yourself laying in fetal position,
Unable to get up,

A million thoughts race through your mind,
Like a million what ifs that have yet to be answered,
The Anxiety that shortly follows
Causing your breathing to be shortened and rapid,

Where standing up for yourself,
Is like having to brave the altitude of a mountain,
And keeping yourself from being pushed down,
Fear is all these things plus some,

Permitting your life to be led by fear,
Is like giving up all hope that tomorrow will be a better day,
It's what keeps you up at night,
It's what makes a person feel unaccepted by the people,
It's how I feel on a daily,

Fear is like losing your loved ones,
Regardless of your effort of keeping it from happening,
Fear makes you feel like you've lost everything,
And I have.
