Harmless Or Dangerous
My car broke down in the middle of the woods
I was not prepared so I had no goods
The sun is burning on this hot, summer day
I see a stranger across the way
He peers at me with his long, stinging glare
And I think, does he hate me or does he care
I cannot believe what I see in his hand
I think, am I a coward or am I a man
I run away as fast as the wind
But hearing his voice
Made me lose it
I couldn’t rhyme
Or think of a way out
He catches up I start losing my breath
Only to find he has a helpful wrench in his hand
He finds the problem within my car
And fixes it with ease
Now I know you can still be scared
But if they really care
You shouldn’t be scared
You should face your fears and let them hear
The Speaking Fear
As I watch my classmates present well before me
I hear the teacher speak YOUR UP!
All pain only just starts
As I get get up there
All I can see is my classmates staring straight at me
Thousands of eyes stare as they shoot fireballs directly at my body
As I get further and further into my presentation I hear whispers from my peers
me expecting the worst I panic and start to sweat
this panic attack is like a poison in my mouth killing me
putting me in a void
A void of fear with no courage in site
as I go further and further into this void I start to smell smoke
It was smoke coming from my heart from the burning pain in my chest
further and further I go now I’m sweating so much its weight is pulling me down
I burn and burn until it’s over
by that point the fire fighters are pulling me from this void and putting out this fire
after I cool down I wake up as if nothing had happened but still
Still I feel that I have been traumatized
it doesn’t change that I’m just preparing for another attack
When all I’m thinking about is the end
But then I begin to think is there really an end to this
as I run it through my head I thought

The Journey In Darkness
Down the stairs I go
Alone in darkness
With a candle in hand
With it’s stone walls
And it’s stone stairs
Down the stairs I go
Hand on the wall
Damp and mossy
Supporting me
On my way down
Down the stairs I go
Other than footsteps
Is dripping of water
Splashing down on my head
Extinguishing my candle
Down the stairs I go
Alone in darkness
With my candle
That no longer emits light
On an endless flight of stairs
Alone in the dark
With light gone
With a cold taste in my mouth
Placing my candle
Onto the damp stone stairs
Down the stairs I go
Alone in darkness
Stumbling on a step
Falling down fast
Down many steps
As I got back up
And continued my way
I seem to be in place
As if stairs were moving
And not me
Then I turned around
Looking behind me
I see some bright light
And I finally realize
It was my imagination
Words Can Hurt
I hear people talking,
their hatred and all.
As mean as the devil
I wish they wouldn’t call
Me names I don’t like
Ugly, stupid, and dumb
I try to keep them away
As a rule of my thumb
Their words always slap
their victims’ weak feelings
they never use the same words
to keep fresh with their dealings
But what’s worse is the fact
that they strike without caution
they surround you and drown you
giving no other option
But there are some
who are willing to help
They’ll care for your wounds
so you won’t have to whelp.
The Major Fear
Dying will always be a big fear of mine and will stick with me until that day. Dying has always been a question or a thought that goes through the back and front of my mind. I always wanted to know what that day would be like but i know now that i would have to find out.
I have always been afraid of dying because everyone in my life or anyone close to me has always died unexpectedly or they were here just too sick to to keep going with their sick life. Dying has a major impact in everyone’s life but it scares me knowing that everyone and even me has to die someday and that we would never know when or how. Most of my family is still with me on earth and most of them has already dies in so many ways and some are worse than the other. I always had a fear that i would die an unhappy life or not living up to my standards and completing all of my goal.I always question to myself and imaged the possibilities of how i would die but with the was i had imagined it was like me being murdered or something tragic.
I am afraid of dying because i am afraid of doing everything i wanted and not being the person i wanted or the person everyone would remember me as. When i die i want to die living up to all of my standards and completing all of my goals and becoming the person i want to be. I have feared many times that when i die i wouldn’t be remembered the person i want to be remembered as.
Dying is one of my major fears and i know that one day we are all going to to die and that it is only natural and human nature. I have learned to accept that someday, but still it will be one of my major fear and will always cross my mind. Having this fear has made me wonder what my life would be like if i had completely overcome that fear and have the courage to live up to my fate. Dying is one of my biggest fears and hearing how people die and hearing about so many people died made me wonder what will happen to me or when will i die or how would i die.
Fears That Bind Us
It is tempting
I see the light
bright and warm
I understand
why people always go
towards it
It beckons me
calling out
the voices of those I’ve lost
It is tempting
they sound so pained
they call to me
It is tempting
then I understand
I can not go into the light
I must fight it
I am terrified
I know I must
overcome
my fears
I can’t do it
yes I can
I smell it
the stench of the dead
lIke a million skunks
the bodies, dead, but still calling
I taste the blood
awful
like metal
then
I realize
not blood
but death
what I taste
I know I am close
to death
this knowledge scares me
but gives me power
scary, but powerful
I will myself to overcome
I rise up and wash
the taste out of my mouth
with the water of life
I am living
with power
new power
it was tempting
my fears
overcome
no longer binding me
The Future
The Future,
I wonder what it would be like.
I wonder what I’d be like.
Maybe flying cars and
Robots with emotions
and a job,
a job in which
I get money
to pay
the
Money collectors,
to get back my house,
the house my family owned
for many generations,
the house they took
to pay off
MY dept.
The dept that I
got myself into
by borrowing money from
them.
The collectors that
beat me and my family to a bloody pulp
every month
if they didn’t get what they
need,
or should I say what they want
The need that I
PLEAD
for mercy
hoping to go back to the
Past
The Future,
I wonder what it would be like,
I wonder what I’d be like

My greatest fear
a towering feature
so large and steep
a figure towering down with incredible speed
children of all ages screaming
a sharp screech exiting their mouths
other surround sounds of children for miles long fill my ears
sweat dripping down my face into my mouth
nerves getting from my head to my toes
not a bit of courage
anxiety taking over
I have fear of the unknown
my feet moving forward
finally a bitter stop in the carriage
nervous as a jitterbug
I see a towering feature
children of all ages screaming
as I climb I gain courage
suddenly a stop at a peak
and zoom crash bang hurdling down
it is over I have done it I feel unstoppable
I am a lion
The Big Water
The Ocean
So strong and so powerful
Pulling you away
So evil it will deceive you
changing your life forever
Take you away
To a better place
The ocean
So powerful
So deep
so dangerous
so harmful
Filled with animals that could make you disappear
Forever
The waves take you farther and farther
Away from life
so strong they take your breath away
with your life
You hear the kids screaming
You jump in and try to help
But it’s too strong
too dangerous
The ocean
