Fear

I feel so vulnerable,

I feel so blind,

A monster behind me,

Or is it in my mind?

Or is it just me?

Is this insanity?

 

Is there no escape?

Is this my cursed fate?

I feel hot breath on my neck's nape,

Death is all that I await,

Yet, it won't come,

 

So I must suffer,

And try to be tougher,

And hope to be free soon.

Inspired by this picture: http://akirakirai.deviantart.com/art/Fear-194527543?q=favby:artist17832/50311702&qo;=29

This image really sent me to a totally new place, emotionally. If you have any ideas for an additional stanza, please let me know. : ) Oh, and please comment with some constructive criticism!
