Fear Poem by tammy jennette

FEAR
ONE of these days
I won't fear
I won't fear the night,
or its terrors of fright
that cut deep and bite,
so deeply it prys.
It prys into my mind
and loosens the ties
that keep a tight bind
of the memories inside.
And I can't let them find
freedom to climb
and choke out my mind,
like a wild growing vine
that around my heart winds.
But there will come a time
that my fears will die.
Yes one of these days
I won't fear.
One day…
And I won't be held down
by the fears I have found
in the sights and sounds
of a world surely bound
by dooms day clouds.
Its resources running out,
quakes swallowing the ground,
acts of terror all around,
soon the antichrist crowned,
in hell we'll surely drown,
racial wars unwound,
the economy is down,
social media pounds,
the fear and the doubts.
But I take this vow,
One day
One of these days
I will not fear.
I won't be afraid.
And I'll be brave
One day…
…
Soon one day,
I won't be afraid
of choices I've made,
and the price that was paid.
I won't fear bleeding chains
of secrets and pain,
and of tattoos of shame.
No I won't be afraid
of the lonely loud rain,
or harsh reality waves
that I'll never be the same.
Too many scars and stains,
leaving my spirit lame. My prayers seem in vain.
Hatred inflamed,
and bitterness came,
residence it claimed,
in my heart full of shame,
while slowly hope drained.
But remember my name.
For one day,
yes one of these days,
I won't be afraid
And I won't fear
One day…
The day is near,
there will be no more tears.
Let all who can hear,
Know that fear
will die by my spear.
And I'll be free.
You'll see.
One of these days,
one day soon,
I won't fear.
One day.
