I have tasted fear, Bubbling up my throat, Wearing away the linings of my insides like a plea that I just can't manage to get out. Something blocks it, Courage. It prevents me from yelling out, Rather I push on, I accept the awful taste in my mouth. I have witnessed fear, A sudden metallic feel, Red slowly dropping onto the plush carpet, Jagged breathing exposing the dark saturated mouth, Clean the mess, Cracked bloodstained lips wiped at like a messy chalkboard, Erasing the anxiety away from the tip of my tongue. I have heard fear, Loud, languished cries, Shrill screams like a school fire alarm reverberating down an empty corridor. Shields rise up, Connected to my clammy hands, Sounds no longer penetrate my ears, My internal drum stops beating to take a moments rest, My heart beat is a loud mumble that is the only sound inside me. I have felt fear, Body tingling, All over like a chilling gust of air rushing into a room. It envelops me, I can't move, But my body shaking violently , Cease. Accept, Live in fear.

Fear.
I have tasted fear, Bubbling up my throat, Wearing away the linings of my insides like a plea that I just can't manage to get out. Something blocks it, Courage. It prevents me from yelling out, Rather I push on, I accept the awful taste in my mouth. I have witnessed fear, A sudden metallic feel, Red slowly dropping onto the plush carpet, Jagged breathing exposing the dark saturated mouth, Clean the mess, Cracked bloodstained lips wiped at like a messy chalkboard, Erasing the anxiety away from the tip of my tongue. I have heard fear, Loud, languished cries, Shrill screams like a school fire alarm reverberating down an empty corridor. Shields rise up, Connected to my clammy hands, Sounds no longer penetrate my ears, My internal drum stops beating to take a moments rest, My heart beat is a loud mumble that is the only sound inside me. I have felt fear, Body tingling, All over like a chilling gust of air rushing into a room. It envelops me, I can't move, But my body shaking violently , Cease. Accept, Live in fear.
