Fear by Valeria Shmagun

In dark believe we

With no doubts.

The only thing

We know for sure -

It’s inhabited by all kinds

Of creatures big and small.

The scariest ones

Are masked the best.

Our Fear is the biggest.

You wouldn’t want to meet him

In the night, alone,

Just you and it.

Lying down, all torn up

By inner thoughts

Constrained by his strength,

You look at its moves

So smooth and inevitable,

You hear its voice

Whispering from everywhere,

You feel its grazes

Right on your face,

No place you can hide,

No place to run of.

It’s already inside -

In your mind, in your eyes,

In your body, in your heart.

You’re full of it

Right in your viscera

You know you are caught:

Tightly bounded

With it,

All tied up.

By the darkest creature of all -

Your own Fear.

Give in, submit.

There is no win for you.

Just lie, choking

From his powerful stench,

Obediently waiting for sun

To come and free you.
