Kissing Fear

Fear is a constant companion,

Always there when everything else is gone.

Holding me tight,

In an unwanted embrace.

 

We both feel the same,

wanting another's company.

So here we sit,

In a darkened room,

All alone.

 

Hated fear is,

but loneliness,

a scarier thought.

 

I starve for someone's thoughts,

crave another's touch,

but I have burdens none wish to bare.

So fear is there,

just another weight.

 

Sounds of woe,

hope nothing but a show.

Fear I now cling to,

nothing else left to hold.

Now with no choice,

mind made up.

I close my eyes,

and kiss fear.

This is so deep and amazing Victoria! Many do not know you have Asperger's syndrome. This is an intimate look inside of the complex antiquities the minds suffers. The path of one trapped in fear. To hold close that witch if so faithfully there…FEAR. You are amazing and I love everything you write, but this my dear, is amazing because of the twisted deapth held tight within the web of words you spin!

Great writing! Deep and penetrating to your reader.

Desperate longing...don't give into the fear, the darkness. We all have baggage, doubts, self loathing...some hide it better than others, but it's there. It's beautiful the way you can express yourself through the written word and you have a beautiful gift and light to give. Write on!

Fear is an amazing thing...yet we cannot seem to escape it....

[Enigma]

I can relate to it. Everyone has at least one such moment in life when one has to embrace the fear because that has become the only visible reality for us. The idea of acceptance is built and conveyed beautifully through your words. Keep it up.
