Rush of Fear

by KayKay   Jun 7, 2013


Screaming
Glass is shattering
Bullets
Blood is shed
Cracking of bones
Rush of fear
...

Stillness
Silence
Deafening silence
Rush of fear
...

Sirens in the distance
Help is near
Rescued from our car
Is only me
Alone again
Forever
Rush of fear
...

    As I was reading this, I was thinking, sometimes the least said is the most powerful because I felt this hidden suffering in your poem, and that nothing more can be expressed than the reality of that silence and stillness. If this was written truthfully in your life or someone close to you, I'm very sorry, whether you lost anyone or just the trauma of being in an accident. I've never experienced that. But I can taste almost your numbness in this, how you are left alone and that fear comes rushing back...

    Good write, while you don't go on in detail or give metaphors/similes to your pain, you stay true to how you feel now, without embellishment or anything. There is such a raw openness about this in this one event, like nothing else could be penned without giving surroundings details that aren't as important.

    Stay strong & keep writing :]
