  2. I wrote this one before, so u might have allready read it, hope u enjoy!

    Fear

    Fear is cold, colder than ice
    It clutches you in it's grasp
    It won't ever let you go
    How long will you hold on?
    Something deep inside
    Older than life itself
    Will keep you alive
    But you will freeze
    In the cold entaglements
    That fear hold you in
    Life fading, apathy engaging
    Hope and dreams splintering
    Lonely and confused
    Is what fear makes you 
    It molds you like clay
    So afraid, for what might happen
    You can destroy the fear
    But it will grow back stronger
    You'll waste every last moment 
    Trying hoplessly to untagle the fear
    But success is impossible
    For fear is everywhere
     
  3. Here's mine:
    Fear
    Fear paralyzes the mind so you can't run. 
    It terrorizes every corner so you can't  hide. 
    The horrors that await you are gruesome 'fun.' 
    A scream will await you to make it feel you have died. 
    Fear waits in the darkness until you stumble upon it. 
    It will stalk you like prey until it attacks. 
    Fear is an endless black pit. 
    And like an ax it will hack. 
    So when you sleep at night hold onto what is dear. 
    And think to yourself what is your worst fear? 
     
  4. I like it, but it doesn't flow very well. It rhymes once at the end, which is wierd, but you've got a colorful imagination, and I admire you for that! 
     
  5. When the world came to an end
    Tommy was on the back porch
    Having a cigarette and
    enjoying the sunshine
    warming his skin.

    When the world came to an end
    Cindy had just finished folding
    laundry
    and she held the last towel,
    still warm from the dryer,
    up to her nose
    and breathed in the scent
    of clean.

    When the world came to an end
    they were both quite content with
    their lives together
    as close to perfect
    as could be hoped

    and their daughter was out front
    riding her tricycle
    in the yellow dress she loved to wear
    and the street she rode in was
    quiet until
    the red truck came
    and he didn't see the little girl
    in the yellow dress

    But Tommy and Cindy heard
    the tires
    and the almost fake sounding
    THUNK
    and they both remembered where their
    daughter was
    when the world came to an end.
     
  6. Its a great poem easycheese, but wasn't the topic fear?
     
  7. I'd love to stay up and wait for the rest of the poems, but I'm tired! Sorry for those of you who I didn't get back to, but I'm gonna sleep! 
     
  8. Marian how afraid would you be if you heard squealing tires and a thunk outside your window and then remembered where your daughter had been playing?
     
  9. Ok, I understand. In the beginning I thought the poem was literally going to be about the end of the world. You took this topic a different direction than I was thinking. You wrote about a time when people felt fear, unlike kimber and I who described fear itself.
     
  10. Are you sleep talking lady? Lol and I just wanted my poem to give you goose bumps.
     
  11. Mmm... Finished mine... Crap, gotta copy it, just checking to see if this is still active.

  12. Fear am I

    I have existed among man.
    In you for eons. 
    I came to being when your hearts did.
    I am a creation of yours. 

    I take any form. 
    I can be an adversary,
    Then a spirit to another.
    I appear to you as your phobia.

    I am your shaking hands.
    Yet I am your friend's scream.
    And finally another one's mistake.
    I have many forms.

    I roam all around you. 
    I can be the darkness,
    Yet change just as quickly to a snake,
    Curling around you, I look in your mind.

    I find all that you love,
    I see all that you hate,
    And I know what you fear.

    I am as delicate as a butterfly,
    Yet ferocious as a lion.
    I exist in front of you,
    Behind of you,
    And inside of you.

    I bring out the worst in people.
    I drive the most sane of people crazy.
    Yet, am I not essential?
    Do I not promote growth?

    I force you to be cautious.
    I make you careful.
    I keep you in line.
    I leave you human.

    I am the greatest ally,
    Yet the greatest foe.
    I am a double-edged blade.
    Use me to help you,
    But still feel the pain I bear.

    I expect to be paid,
    As I am not a mindless servant.
    I will give what I can,
    And take what I must.

    Giving you power is one half.
    Taking courage is the second half.
    I request a tribute, but rest assured,
    I pay back in double as was given.

    To overcome me is a great deed,
    Yet it may prove your downfall.
    You may fear nothing,
    But you will not hear anything.

    The cries and cheers are lost.
    In both your confidence and cowardice,
    Fear still rules all that is mortal.
    Beating me won't win the mortals. 

    Everyone is the same,
    As such, they must follow rules,
    My rule reaches everyone,
    From beggars to kings,
    I am the true ruler,
    I hold people's true personalities.
    That is so because...

    I am your Fear...

  15. Fear of fainting
    Fear of lightning
    Of ugliness
    And of untidiness
    Fear of insanity
    Fear of gravity
    Of democracy
    And hypocrisy
    Fear of being alone
    Fear of getting stoned
    Of getting hit
    And of eating $&@?
    Fears of Lebanese
    Fears of Japanese
    Of Italians
    And of Australians
    Fear is often formed irrationally
    But is understood internationally
     
  16. Hypocrisy rhymes better if u

    Be stupid

  19. The fear has crept into my soul,
    I do not know just what’s its goal.
    The fear ... it comes and steals away,
    All the words that I might say.
    It leaves me speechless; stunned in place
    Red hot shame covers my face.
    The fear will come and get you too,
    The fear will get the best of you.
    Not a man alive is immune from fear,
    And some will even shed a tear.
    Eventually it comes for us all,
    And leaves us feeling rather small.
    But the test of fear is not to run.
    Stand tall, don’t let it have its fun.
    Face it with all the strength you can.
    Face your fears and be a man.
    Because in the end the fear fades away
    Your actions decide if your pride will stay.
    So when it’s time to face your fear,
    Remember you’re not the only one here.
     
  20. Few are those who grasp you
    A feeling deemed brute and primal
    Yet you are pure and true
    I believe it is time for Your revival
    Fear, you who I know
    It is time for you to show
    How it is you bring the good from us
    How you can free us as as we trust
    Fear is prologue to greatness
    Not synonym to darkness
    For courage is driven by fear
    And in the face of courage we cheer
    And as the fear dissipates
    We fail to commemorate
    The sutble role that it had bore
    Fear has a thankless chore...
