FEAR

 

Fear is a notion that 

the fearless will never understand

Fear is heavy, tangible, 

Fear is viscose, Fear has a scent

But for the fearless 

Fear is evanescent

They don't see it, they can't smell it, they can't feel it 

They don't believe it exists

They think it can be whiffed away - 

Snuffed out

Blown off...

But then if it is not even there

Then what is the big deal

Fear has a face , Fear has a body, Fear has limbs

Fear has hair, Fear has talons, 

Fear has wings and horns too

Fear has a dripping tongue 

Fear has teeth and fangs

Fear has a  tail even

Fear is loud, Fear screams and yells

And Fear can be deafeningly silent 

Fear is a leech that sucks you hollow

Fear is like a huge oil slick 

that leaches through your

body, mind and soul

Leaving you like a 

shrivelled , crumbly leaf 

Withering into dust....

Fear has no logic

Fear is irrational

And yet it thrives

Like a looming, large 

Gargoyle  that swallows you whole...

Fear is a phantom , Debilitating for the fearful

Fear is real , Fear is fact 

Fear is fantasy, fortifying for the fearless

Lucky are those who know no fear

Fear is a notion that 

the fearless will never understand
