There is a shadow that preys on each of us. It brings to us a fear beyond imagination. Its dark radiance haunts and chills our spines and our own fears come to full reallization. This shadow that follows our every move, knows too well the secrets we hold dear. It abuses our thougths for its own ambitions, of causing us terror by means of deadly premonitions. With its unending power over the human mind, the shadow manipulates our every emotion. Sanity becomes something that transcends time. And in the end you find yourself alone watching the rest of your life pass by. [This message has been edited by nevermore93 (10-26-2007 02:44 PM).] |

Welcome to PIP, dear nevermore93! Thank you for your reply to my "hometown" too. quote: You have expressed this gripping feeling of fear and anxiety very powerfully. FEAR is the number one enemy of humanity. This fear is a kind of atavic heritage, but we can overcome it. I would say we need to overcome it, because otherwise we can't enjoy our existence, as you so cynically affirm in your last lines. When we move ahead on the path of faith, love, trust and joy, fear will gradually recede, while we move ahead. This said, I want to add that I enjoyed your thought provoking poem. Love, Margherita |
