A twisted poem about the forms of fear I face each day of my troubled life. |
-Forms of Fear- by Keaton Foster Just there Forms of fear Each of them Abundantly clear Each one related To themselves As well as the real me All of them powerful All of them ruthless They won’t surrender They won’t ever falter What they are doing Is a form of control That won’t ever let go What they are doing Is dismantling all of my will And breaking down the boundaries Between what should be remembered And what should have been forgotten Closer they are always getting In the immediate distance they seem Upon my chest their ideas sit Deep inside my mind They find further solid ground They hang on for dear life Even at the price of my own They will never go Because at this point They are part of my soul Leaches sucking the blood That pumps through my veins Causing my health to be in A constant state of decay Causing me to suffer The greatest levels of pain Unbearable all that they do Has long since become Many come from my past From a childhood born of hell My youth was raped away All innocence forcefully taken All that made me human Stripped from me and replaced With far too many Forms of fear All future is not clear The past is always near In between for now I have somehow survived There are of course Different levels of survival Existence can be as simple As just being alive Or it can be as complex as Being in this place When without question Here is where one belongs Least of all Forms of fear Some I can deal Others I certainly cannot Those on the outside scream Rationale ideas of change They wish for me to survive What is not survivable They want me to get better But they offer me nothing In the way of how it’s to be done I’m always alone in a wilderness Of far too many creatures All of them flesh starved Abominations of humans Ones too close to me Once too much of a part of me Diseases feasting upon my childhood People infected with needs That only a child’s flesh could meet Forms of fear For a child like I was And for the man that I am There are just too many… Forms of Fear Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2014. |
