By Nishtha Kumar
I wake up with a new FEAR everyday,
A FEAR running in the back of my mind,
A FEAR captured in the veins of my heart,
Knowingly or Unknowingly,
FEAR resides wherever I go.
I FEAR to end up my day like every other day.
I FEAR of hurting people without any such endeavors.
I FEAR getting mutilated too.
I FEAR the injuries.
I FEAR the uncertainties.
I FEAR the dark.
I FEAR the light.
I FEAR hatred.
I FEAR love.
I FEAR all bad.
I FEAR all good.
I FEAR the monsters, the witches and the DEVIL.
I FEAR the humans, the animals and the GOD.
I FEAR everything I’m living with.
I FEAR everything I’m living for.
I FEAR death.
I FEAR life.
May be I also FEAR the ‘BEYOND.’
I FEAR myself.
I FEAR my shadow.
I FEAR my demeanor.
I FEAR my soul.
But,
If I FEAR everything, then what am I alive for?
Did my creator weave me to FEAR all?
Is FEAR my destiny?
Will my days ever change?
Can I ever combat FEAR?
Take a carefree flight brimming with joy?
Fright is a perpetual foe.
We have to move our prospects afar from FEAR
Otherwise we shall always remain enclosed.
Enclosed in a box.
A box of illusion.
Away from sanity.
Away from rationality.
Away from spirituality.
Away from independence.
We all shall live in a box of infinite FEARS.
Thank you for your encouraging words guys.
You have shone light to the eternal fears of mankind and stopped the narration by picking the greatest fear of all – living a life under the clasps of fears and never overcoming it. Amazing write! I thought the below lines were real beauties initiating a chain of thoughts in my mind.
May be I also FEAR the ‘BEYOND.’
Is FEAR my destiny?
Lovely poem!
