the FEAR

          envelops me like a....

i don't know what

          but its not a blanket

                     i'm so scared

my fear drops like a large wrecking ball

          and the wrecking ball

tears through the bottom of my stomach

           and the wrecking ball is on fire

the fire

          spreads throughout my body

it burns.


it's a fear so powerful

          that nothing else i try to do will distract me

for years

          it hadn't surfaced

i suppose i ever even knew it was even there

          fear can be sneaky like that

                    i

                                   feel

                                                       so

                                   helpless

                 helpless

helpless

knowing there is nothing i can do

          or possibly say to myself

because there is no denying

          this rational fear.
