Forgive me for posting three in one day.


      FEAR

What is this thing? This thing called life?
A lie? A myth? A figment of our imaginations?
An ongoing hell which we are
continually forced to endure?
What is life?
I'll tell you.
It's a joke.
Love.
What is love?
A curse? A search?
It's a four letter word,
straight from the very lips
of satan himself.
But he is good to me.
He is a friend who won't betray.
I like to call him Misery.
So, is Misery love?
What is fear?
Fear is simply a state of mind.
Fear can either paralyze you
or energize and motivate you.
Fear is great and small all at the same time.
So, what is fear?
It is simply
what you let it become.
Moreover... WHAT do we fear?
I fear life.
I fear love.
I fear betrayal.
However...
Fear is the thing I do not fear.

Lil One... loved your poem!
Though life seems sometimes like an on going hell we have to endure and survive , and love seems like satan's curse... we can't survive without it. Love is a meaning to survive life. As for life - here's a little something I wrote today -

There's much important things in life
Than money, fancy cars, a supermodel for a wife,
Fantastic body, good career, vacation in Hawaii... (hope I spelled it right...)
No diamonds, precious pearls or stones of any kind
Could ever measure up to the most precious - life!

LM
Thank you so much for your responses. They always shine a light in my normally dark days. And just FYI... you spelled Hawaii correctly, my boyfriend, who is bringing me to belive in love, is from a Hawaiian island.
Great work, LM. Keep it up, and thanks again.((HUGS))

Never give your heart away, it will always come back broken.

This is brilliant. What an inner dialogue. I'm afraid I'm too knackered to say anything intelligent, but:
I like!
