Fear: Deception to destruction

A small act changes a person. It demeans them or encourages them. Be kind. Based on true experiences.

“Fear is an illusion”, but have they

Felt something shattering down and they had to sway

It away. They seem so immaculate, no error

Never felt this or maybe some speaking terror.

 

Imagine a person crashing down, but have they

Seem to care? A simple no, evidently on display.

Don’t even mention the feeling, feeling failed,

Failed and fallen short of expectations entailed.

 

But who am I to say, speaking in front of people? Because

“Fear is an illusion”, that day, truly it was.

The soul collapsing into bitter pieces, those blacks and red

With it, all dreams, the speech is dead.

 

Barely a murmur, ‘til heard a little

Cackle. The changing point, it’s official.

Unknown of the episode, not a big deal

It’s time to ameliorate. That’s my appeal.

Author's Note

criticize it the way you like it.
