My fear is large and formless
shape shifting
like a shadow that doesn’t get stamped out in the light
it looks like darkness
it looks like death
it looks like loneliness
and it looks like people
it grows like anger
a small flame that feeds this formless entity
no light penetrates
a fortress i don’t want seen
i reach out in vein
all i do is in vein
because my pride
is what i clutch inside
fear of you
and fear of me
being swallowed by the tide
while others stand tall
i see my fear
i see my shame
a towering wave
will pull me out to see
my fear
in a perfect form
like water
filling all the cracks and openings i haven’t closed
i can’t figure out, where it was
that i became
what i sought to protect
