Fear.
February 4, 2016
in the darkness I hide
the light it stings my face
I hide away from the fears inside
for these fears can’t be erased
they lay dormant ready to be awaken
but I can’t face the truth in front of me
I wish the fear could be taken
for I don’t want to face this reality
my mother yells
my sister hits
my father is so far away he can't hear my wails
I stare into the dark abyss
the people I care about
always seems to leave
fears inside I wish I could let out
but I feel so deceived
fear has taken control
I wish I could let it go

I'm a new writer and this poem is one I hold dear. What it's talking about is all the fear I have bottled up inside. The fear of my family and what they think and do to me. The fear of my friends and loosing the people I love. How I don't want to face them, but know that I'll have to one day.
