Fear
The eleventh dark poem in the series inpired by Dharrsheena.
This is my eleventh dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.
It is said that the only thing we should fear is fear itself. I do not agree, fear is a good thing. It lets you try to prepare for whatever is coming, whether you are able to deal with it or not. Fear occurs when you are not in control of a situation, but still have to deal with it.
This is a sonnet listing things that may cause us fear.
The music is John Cale’s “Fear” with it’s refrain “Fear Is A Man’s Best Friend”

I Fear That Which I Can’t Control
When Up A Height I Fear The Fall
I Know I’m A Creature Of Light
But Darkness Makes Me Fear The Night
🖤💀
Losing Friends Fearing Loneliness
Can’t Ask For Help, Start Feeling Stress
On This Dark Street, I Fear Attack
And I Am Lost, I Can’t Turn Back
🖤💀
Where There’s Water, I Fear Drowning
Where There’s A Fire, I Fear Burning
Where There’s No Light, I Fear Darkness
Where There’s An Axe, I Am A Carcass
🖤💀
I Fear The Pain, My Heart’s Shredded
Vultures Strip My Flesh,Life’s Ended
🖤💀🖤💀🖤💀🖤💀🖤💀🖤💀

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

Vultures strip my flesh, life's ended. I loved that line so much! Thank you so much for this poem! I enjoyed so much reading it!
Very nicely done.
