If Fear was a color,
It would be dark purple
As the creepy crawly skin as a the monster hiding in a child’s closet.
If Fear was a taste
It would be just like the bitter taste of lemons.
If Fear was a feeling
It would be as overpowering as a raging bull.
If Fear was a smell
It would be as foul as a cadaver.
If Fear was a sound,
It would be as piercing as a scream.
