To conqure fear you must become fear! and dont judge a book by its cover... read the blurb too :)


It slipped ahd fell,
On the way down
it crashed and burned.
Set fire to the fuse;
watch it burst,
the shell shatters.
Im falling,
falling into the deep,
crying out for help.
HELP!
I'm drowning, Suffocating,
my heart is bleeding,
I'm aching,
Shaking.
My mind is failing.
I'm done,
it's done.
I cave.
No flare,
no S.O.S,
it's too late for that.
More down then up,
no relife.
I breathe but am dead,
I shake but am still
of heart, of mind,
but not of pain,
it grips me,
Tight,
Holds me fast,
unmoving, relentless
with a murderous streak,
I fight but like quicksand
I continue to sink.
I cling to the only thing i know how.
But to what lengths will it cling to me?
before its hold loosens
and i slip through the gentle fingers?
It slipped and fell,
on the way down
it crashed and burned.
from the remnants I weave it
Anew.
Pin it to the place it will float.
I straighten it,
untill all is concealed,
I raise and grit,
vacant of all colour.
Did anyone see it fall?

“Wednesdays are limbo days. Monday is the beginning of the week, Tuesday is getting used to it, Thursday is looking forward to Friday and Friday is getting ready for the weekend. Wednesdays aren’t really anything in particular. They’re just there.”

Wow, the action in this poem is unbelievable! Although it has a bit of a stream-of-conciseness feel about it, the parts all fit nicely.
