FEAR
Katherine Riddle
Fear
ice cold water
trickling down my spine
muscles frozen
heart a block of ice
Fear
a whole life lived
in
Fear
of falling
of flying
of living
of dying
of loving
of hating
of leaving
of staying
of old
of new
of me
of you
I take a step off the ledge
off the edge
of
Fear
to live
to die
to laugh
to cry
to be free
of
Fear
