#fears poems on Hello Poetry

It's taking all of me
to not spiral
out of control
into madness

The world's capacity is full
and i'm a grain of sand

Why is it so menacing to just exist?

Raven Blue Jun 2021

Distorted memories,
But all were just tragedies.
My mind was just full of fantasies,
That didn't happen all through these years.
Happiness that turned to tears;
Hope that turned to fears;
I wish I never woke up from this dream,
And just stayed there forever until it dims.

-
It is the courage to touch your pain that will transmute it:
The lamb must face the wolf
to become it.

Materialistic

Free of fears, free of tears
I wander freely
And happily rejoice with materialistic things
Gleefully denying the fact
That death doesn't rejoice with me

"The one who loves his world harms his Hereafter, and the one who loves his Hereafter harms his world. Hence you prefer the immortal (Hereafter) to the mortal (world). "
- (Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 7, pp. 165, Hadees 19717)

Running Scared

Left foot, right foot
back and forth
Faster, faster please
these issues might
CATCH UP

You can’t do this
voices whisper firmly
Stop, stop please
you can’t keep
DOING THIS

Your shoes soles
forever wearing thin
Quit, quit now
quit running scared
AND AFRAID

Be brave , face it
REALIZE it’s not
your fault
However it’s now
YOUR CHOICE

Porch Conversations

And we sit on the porch steps
our bare feet rest on cold cement
the space between memories and contentment
starts to occupy your lungs
we watch the distant rain, still too premature
yet you, in fear of the future
run inside.

Hold Me A Moment

Hold me
Take me into your arms
Hold me tightly
Safe and right

Hold me
Away from the monsters in my head
Hold me until they go away
So I can stay
Here with you

Hold me
Close to your beating heart
Hold me
And tell me I belong
That my monsters are wrong

Hold me
And don't let me go
Hold me here
Help me fight my fear

Sometimes it can be frightening, and I could use a nice long hug.

Sins of a dreamer Apr 2021

Equivalent Exchange

A single tear,
a million cries,
a million fears,
produces a single sigh,
one cut,
leads to a million stitches.

Reopening old wounds.
