FEAR

CATEGORY

life

Views: 596

I wrestle with what comes

across as effortless to some –

with finding words that serve me

valiantly

when my inner strength succumbs

to my fears,

and gallantry

is nowhere to be found

between the heart that feeds my mind its thoughts

and the hand that writes them down.

 

My fears rest upon my balance scale

opposing my will to prevail

against concerns of being judged,

criticized, and shown no love;

 

vilified by my self-consciousness –

 

curtailing the responsiveness

of my scribing guiding

limb.

Immobilized by my fear’s wantonness.

 

I can’t shake this feeling of nakedness

that comes when I expose

my private feelings and my thoughts

before you all within my prose.

 

So I hide behind a pseudonym

and faceless avatar.

Remaining aloof sharing my truth

has best abetted me thus far.

 

Setting free my passion.

Sparing me from my noose.

Therapy for anxieties

I have nurtured since my youth.

"My fears rest upon my balance scale opposing my will to prevail against consierns of being judge criticized and shown no love" yes i feel your pain and you capture the wanting so bad to get what you have to say out but afraid to be judged cause its our innermost personal feelings we write down in this one. Much love.

I definitely feel the EXACT way. Sometimes having that fear at the bottom of your stomach that make you wonder if they will appreciate it, understand it. Will they judge me for writing so deeply and touching on forbidden subjects? Sometimes I feel so embarrassed or insecure with my poetry that I don't even bother to read it over. I just know what I was feeling at the moment and it ended up on a piece of paper or on somebody's computer/phone/tablet screen. It's the life of a poet...but we in this together.
