(This is a poem I wrote way back in high school. We were supposed to give a human voice to something without form. I think that was the assignment. I chose ‘fear’ and it came out really good. I’ve revived it a few times over the years, especially since the original was lost long ago during one of the college moves. Figure this is a good week to do it once more and introduce new people to the poem.)
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
Whoa. A terrific poem, Charles.

Wow! This is great! And you wrote Immortal Wars back in high school too? Did any of your teachers nurture your writing ability?

A few did. Mostly corrections on grammar and tense usage. One teacher said that I might write the Great American Novel just to prove people who said I couldn’t wrong. Not sure where all of that defiant drive and spit went since now I’m a total ball of anxiety and doubt. I didn’t really show off any of the Immortal Wars stuff until college. That didn’t go too well.
