somebody's dungeon

Creeping over you
it is a monster fear
fear taken to extreme
terror is more clear
it grips more intently
and it doesn't ever slow
once it is inside
it just starts to grow
with a life of it's own
a power so strong
it could take down a man
and it wouldn't take long
terror is like fear
in it's purest form
a feeling of helplessness
way beyond the norm
a hideous emotion
a crippling state of mind
terror is the father
of emotions of this kind.

Hmmm ... I could read really deeply into this and extract bits of life, and probably make assumptions that aren't true. So I will treat it for what it is -- a nice, savage piece of art that makes you think. Glad you wrote it, WR.

This "terror" was experienced as a 17 yr. old married child who had foolishly gone to see "The Exorcist". I was living in a very old house and my husband worked 3rd shift. There was a creepy attic, I lived on the second floor, and the attic had life at night. I can honestly say I've not felt this terror since.
