This poem is meant to serve as an inspiration to others. As women I feel as though society has put us into a position where we are inclined to fear the world around us and also fear the consequences that come with standing up for yourself
Tormentation
Fear Is a Pair of Shackles
I struggle until my will to go on hits the hard gravel
It binds my wristsĀ
I try to succumb and then BOOM fear its me with a forced kissĀ
Fear swallows youĀ Ā
It Is A WhaleĀ
See I knew fear better than anyone else
I wanted courage but fear is the card i was dealt
Fear attacked me and I regret the decision I chose
When I was given the chance to run-
I frozeĀ
Fear chased meĀ
It Was A Wolf In The Night
When I needed to win I slipped
My heart hit every beatĀ
and with every beat i felt my stomach flip
My heart felt so alive but so faint at the same time
Fear made it beat out of my chest
Fear wanted to me quiz my response time
Fear tested my strength and I failed the test
Fear grabbed and consumed me
It wanted to see me dead
When I told fear I was done
It punctured me in my lung
I could not fathom to breathe
When I tried to be big it was followed by a wheeze
Fear is a demon
When I found some light he kicked me and it burned like the sun
See Fear Is Darkness
He caught up to meĀ
He beat me until I could not see
See I knew fear better than anyone else
He stalked meĀ
He tricked meĀ
He wore a grin
I thought fear was my friend
He visited in my sleep
For he knew i was weak
Fear wanted to put my light to an end
It is my fault
Fear Was a Con Artist
Fear told me he would help meĀ
When I grabbed his hand he took me and never gave me back
Fear Was My Kidnapper
See fear took my joy
Fear used me as his toy
Fear had me scared to walk
Fear made me choke when I talked
Fear took my dreams and balled them up
It flicked me in my throat and had my life stuck
Fear Was This Monstrous BeingĀ
See I know fear better than anyone else
I remembered all thing things fear had done to me
I remember that he left me feeling completely emptyĀ
I remember he wanted to kill meĀ
I built up my will and wanted to torment him the way he tormented meĀ
I kicked fear right in the head
And when the large shadow fell I needed to know he was dead
I did not stop at one blow and not even threeĀ
No I kicked him until I saw as much fear in his eyes as he had given meĀ
He saw my pain as a game and he saw it as funny
Fear treated me the way a predator treats a bunny
But I showed fear that I could and deserved to be free
I beat and killed fear so now fear no longer haunts me
