Fear Poem by Robert Eclipse

Spreads through the body
Like blood in water
And a chill goes through your
Spine
Your skin goes white as
Leprosy
And your body frozen
With fright
Your hands shake yet
Your legs daren't
Move
Stuck in one place like a
Picture on a wall
Your heart beats
Faster faster every
Second racing like
A horse
Your body becomes cold
Cold as the depths of
The arctic ice
As you're captivated
By fears inescapable might.
