Emotional Poetry: Fear

by Liam

This fear

Waiting at the door

Took my breath for a moment

I took it back and more

Spoke to it, then beyond it

Moving forward with resolve

Stepping forward with intent

Fear hidden in the shadows

Around the unconscious corners of my mind

Is a misdemeanor of my own judgement

Eking out its existence in a changed world

Peace is the new paradigm for progress

Happiness the new paradigm for health

Love the new paradigm for social integration

Lifting fear from that pedestal of fame

Placed now beneath the stair

A dusty place where it continues to corrode

Disintegrate under the weight of its own outdated reality

The light, just watch it

For this is the way home.
