Fear

a heavy heart, shallow breathing
sweat on the brow and palms
shaky hands, restless mind
twitching eyes, twitching arms
something is going to happen
something not pleasant
what am I waiting for
what is wrong
no answers forthcoming
fear of the unknown

desire to fade away
desire for oblivion
run as fast as you can
before the feet turn to lead

a simple fear
grows enormously
when the desire to escape
is allowed to prevail

take one chance
stare the fear in its eye
the unknown is an illusion
dare, and it shall be well.
