Veins of Fear

The poem explores themes of vulnerability, anxiety, weakness, and the fear of being consumed by overwhelming forces beyond one's control.

My lungs are black, my heart is pure

My hands are scarred

Tattered from the weight of my own madness.

Toxins run through my veins, 

Because I can’t face the silent watcher

 

I tell myself I’m strong�" 

But the truth is, I am a lie

A coward that won't even step into this game,

Into the ring where the shadows are waiting to swallow me whole.
