Formidable Feeling Within Poem by Danny Speicher

Oh, this formidable feeling within
How it chills to the bone as it slowly creeps in
Oh, this fearful heart that beats inside me
As this hope that deceived I, once more, start to see

Oh, world how you seek and wish it to be
Part of your life as you count on its jubilee
Oh, world, beware this commitment you make
For the more you commit... The more you have at stake

Oh, how do you know when their words are true
Or simply mimicry of words that were from you
Oh, how do you trust? You've been slain before
When each thought of forever is one you deplore

Oh, friends, you must remember to look high above
For that's the only way to learn to, once more, love
