Fearful Felony

This poem is describing how fear can stop of us from living life and doing the things we love to do.

Fearful Felony

I stand on the little ledge,

My legs tragically tremble

Like a quivering quake,

As I look down at the gracious ground.

I try to move my fragile body,

But my balmy bones

Won't move.

Because I am

Paralyzed

By

Fear.

My heart blustery beats

Like a blistering bomb,

As I look down at the gorgeous ground.

I try to catch my erratic breath,

By my limp lungs

Won't inhale.

Because I am

Suffocated

By

Fear.

My body feverishly falls,

Like a towering tree,

As I look down at the glamorous ground.

I try to move my fragile body

But my balmy bones

Won't move.

Because I am

Assaulted

By

Fear.

My heart suddenly stops

Like a cursory car,

As I look down at the gracious ground.

And become

Paralyzed,

Suffocated,

And,

Assaulted

By

Fear.

It's a great piece. You have caught that moment of fear nicely. And I loved the alliteration there in that line 'My heart blustery beats like a blistering bomb'. And also 'feverishly falls' and 'suddenly stops'.

Nicely captured. fear can strike us all at any time, in a number of ways and can be incomprehensible to those around, but deathly real to those in the midst of it. I once heard someone say their biggest fear was being fearful, I get what they mean by that. Once you taste fear, you don't want seconds.
Great write.

Thank you for the review and for reading my work. I agree with that and understand how your biggest fear can be being fearful.
