Word Poetry Challenge #13: Fears by @four20
Fears
There it was, one of my biggest fears
Bit my lip, held back the tears
Breath knocked out of my lungs
Mouth silent with tied tongue
Knees buckle, feet are glued
Can’t run, don’t know what to do
The bottom drops from my belly
Legs feel like they’re made of jelly
Feel the blood rush from my face
Someone get me out of this place
Fight or flight finally kicks in
To harm another is considered a sin
Run far away or just try and hide
Being a girl, I just sat down and cried
