Running from Fear

by Daylight Lucidity   Feb 26, 2013


To whom do I owe the pleasure?
I leave behind mere scrapes in the snow
I've spent my lifetime in darkness unable to be measured
While I break through my barriers of the hardest stone.
Shall I rise above the bottomless abyss I dangle over
Or might I fall to my untimely demise
Dreaming of how this would keep me happy forever
For I am destined to walk alone, intertwined with their flavorless lies.
I wander through these dark, haunting woods
Screams and shrieks of birds so revolting
The trees mock and taunt my every move
Beauty from the pain is now unfolding.
There are no breadcrumbs to show the way back
No hope of finding where I belong
My heart no longer in tact,
And my will no longer so strong,
I run through these bloody woods desperate to find a way out
I turn left, I turn right,
I scream, I shout, so ear piercingly loud
But the darkness comes from a moonless night.
I trip and fall, I hear footsteps behind me
I try and fail to get up
Its breathing is loud and heavy
I'm stuck in the thickening mud...
It has found me, I've tried so hard to run away
I thought maybe, just maybe, I'd be happy
If I escaped through these woods then someday I would be... Someday...
For it I've craved so badly...
But now, my time has come.
My fear has finally caught up
And devoured all of me...

    Running from our fear, boosts the yoke. Knowing the Truth, is living free.

    Running from fear clearly describes how cloying fear can be, how seemingly inescapable, and it shows what can happen if one actually gives up. This is good writing, and I feel I will have to read it again and again, not for fear itself, but to wonder at the near immensity of this poor wretched creation of the evil one.
