Fear

Fear
by Keaton Foster



Fear
Is near
Hope
Is not
Hate
Is alive
Within
Without
Bones
Are broken
Heart
Is missing
Mind
Misleading
War
Rages on
Alone
Am I
God
Just won’t
He can’t
Refuses
Family
Is broken
Loving me
A token
Done
Not meant
Just because
Fear
Thus fate
The same
Pointless
The endeavor
Words
Weapons
Poems
Turned statements
Truth and lies
Factual
Thought Crimes
These games
I’m playing
As I’m waiting
Betraying you
Fooling myself
Sickening
The stream
Infesting
The sea
With beliefs
Not shared
Nor cared
Near death
Just living
Just doing
Committed
Reality is near
Outside
My purview
Fear
Is inside
And beyond
All around
In all that I see
Everything known
Words
Weapons
Statements
Bashing instruments
Over your head
If need be
To death
Hear me
Understand this
Nothing less
Fear
A hell of way
Indeed
To live…
