I wish I could describe the gut wrenching terror
That I feel Right now.
The nausea,
The sweat acroos my brow.
I can stare down knives
stare down tormado’s
One snake by my door
and it’s endless horror.
I’m sitting here shaking
the screaming has finally stopped
curled up in a ball
staring at my laptop
my fear is total
it’s out of control
it has compleatly
filled up my soul.
Phobia’s are pointless
but they are there
if I could control them
they wouldn’t be there.
A four foot snake by my ankle
has me frozen in fright
i couldn’t even move
ee ven if it tried to bite.
I’m not sure
how I made through the door
I think the heavons saved me
for thank I so do thank.
My fingers are still shaking
i’m holding my bear
I don’t know what to say
‘sept the fear is still there.
For this I have no answer
on how to stop the pain
this kind of fear is total
it has no name.
Please forgive me
as i go slightly insane.







Very powerful words! I hope the “slight insanity” is i the past, but you’re beautiful either way. 🙂
This is intense! And what an image you painted of a powerful, horrible fear!
So vivid a portrayal of fear. Especially loved the line ” I can stare down knives”.
very cool. Some fears are very strange with the amount of power they hold.
Terrific write of a horrific experience!
I wish I could describe the gut wrenching terror….is how you started this poem and I’d say you did a good job of it.
Your poem sounds great, total fear sounds terrible! I hope snakes are a rarity where you live…
Some fears make you lose it completely !
Atleast your fear had a form … mine dnt have ..
Urgh! Creepy crawlies of any size/shape give me shivers. I think if I had to face that snake, I’d be viewing him from the ceiling! Hope it’s not poisonous and you can get rid of it without any danger to yourself.
Yikes. What an image of him crawling in your walls. Hope you get it, soon.
