The strong consume the weak. That...is the rule of the world. But...in this world of rules and systems.... If there was another 'option'.... Then perhaps we could meet each other. Not at the end.... But beyond that.

Fear is like walking into blackness

The unknown worries of life,

Public speaking, losing people,

Scopophobia. 


Like an everlasting shadow,

Meeting new people, talking to others,

Lepidopterophobia. 


Fear can push us to the best of ourselves,

Failure, imperfection, 

Athazagotaphobia. 


Fear is like an enormous weight pulling you down,

Drowning, sinking,

Atychiphobia. 


Fear is like a horrifying instinct of sickness,

Overwhelming, staggering, 

Anxiety.

This poem is meant to describe an emotion, this one happens to be fear.
