Facing Fear
January 4, 2018
they felt tossed through the wind
the storm grew bitter, swept those feelings about
despite it all, heaviness dusted the surface
tucking itself deep beneath the unknown
they lost their grip on what bound them closely
arms outstretched, eyes beaming with desolation
their hair swept itself about and frowned upon those
a strong shoulder beckoned the temper
rising as one, breaths firey
roaring in the wind, they stood with angst
only to be pushed with digust, tumbling 'round and 'round

While writing this poem, I considered what I have overcome and how difficult it can be to face struggles in life. I wanted to write a gritty, realistic account about the emotional process of facing your fears - and, how it feels to try and fail at things.
