You think you know fear?

Main description: A short poem about fear itself and just how deep you can get into what it is.

There's a fool that lived a dark

Unspeakable, silent life

But that's all laugh at the start

Until you gift him with a knife

Now he's vanished from the room

Someone's taken out the lights

As soon as you notice the full moon

The beast comes out from the night

You think you know fear?

You think you know fear?

Now it's coming back to you

The shoves, your words,your post, the fights

And your soul retreats down to hell

Once you finally see his eyes

As you quiver in your fear

You're an sitting duck on ice

You want to cry golden tears

As he lets you meet your own demise.

You think you know fear?

You think you know fear?

Now you're alone in the room

All other souls are outside

You break out five little words

"I thought you committed suicide."

Author's Note

My family is currently going through a huge tragedy causing my father to lose his job, the only person where i live who works, since mother is extremely sick and cant get a job, and myself, who is ineligible to work due to me not being able to get a drivers license.
I came up with this off the top of my head, no thinking, If I can do this, that's a bit of talent, right?
I'd like to ask you, the reader, this.....If you enjoy my work, PLEASE...share it? Do something that helps me spread to a wider audience...I'm not asking you to share it nonstop to make me famous, no....I just want my work to be appreciated enough for someone to notice and maybe get me a writing job or me be a freelancer writer....and maybe then I can support the family a bit because at this time, pretty much everyone is either ALWAYS at work, On drugs, or always in the hospital, this is probably my "Last Breath" but it's just worth a try...Thank you for reading.

And with an abusive father who is all you see because the world hates you, it's coming down to few options..I'm gonna write my heart out for this last goal to achieve..thank you.

You just have to write love...toxic environments can destroy you, I understand and empathise but it is important to know you are NOT alone...keep turning corners, you never know what's around them...
