The darkest depths of the mind are my playgrounds
I am omnipotent
Spiders, heights, and death are my faithful minions
I am everlasting
Both strong and weak fall before me
I am destructive
My power will consume the cosmos
I am unbeatable
This world would be nothing without me
I AM FEAR

About Charles Yallowitz
Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
Powerful, but conquerable with a strong will 🙂

Yet it really doesn’t go entirely away. Always lurking. 😀

I guess that’s true. There is the fear that a fear will return, lol. I was thinking about this while crafting character profiles. Some fears are deeply rooted and leave them almost paralyzed, unable to act, others not so much and easier to conquer. Hmmm…might have to do a post on this.

Good idea. I think people always remember their fears, so there’s always a ‘scar’ that they leave behind.

What was that about winter and dark thoughts…? Nice job, BTW.

Odd timing. I get my posts ready a week or two in advance, so the fear subject of today was entirely accidental. 🙂

Based on that, Fear would make a great villain in a story. The fifth horse of the Apocalypse! (Great poem, by the way.)

Fear does tend to show up a lot as a bad guy or a theme for a villain. I think there was a Judge Fear in the Judge Dredd comic series. Then there’s Scarecrow from Batman.

Um, make that “the fifth horseman.” Sometimes I push post comment quicker than I need to.

I didn’t even notice. Guess I should read slower. 🙂

Fear is often a motivator. So not always a bad thing. I am afraid I am not good enough, so I will strive to learn more, be better…that sort of thing.

Very true. I hope my other fear poems today get this kind of insight.

This was excellent. Great description of fear and the control it has over us, IF we let it.

Thanks. This is actually from my high school days. I lost the original, but managed to rebuild it.
