Standing at the edge of a cliff
About to take the plunge
Wondering if the future will
My past deeds expunge
I feel a tingling, a stir within
A completely new emotion
Hitherto I had not known fear
For which I was my own devotion
As I walked into that ominous room
My whole life before me
I realised this was not in my power
And that thought unnerved me
Twenty minutes, and they were done
Like a train they ran me over
I didnt see light at the end of my tunnel
For me there was No Leaf Clover
A little while later, I was informed
That I had filled the position
Floods of relief swept over me
To put me in sunny disposition
Only I will know the Fear I felt
The shudders and the recurring pangs
For Life is what happens to us
When we're busy making other plans
Fear is the essence of the Human Soul,
And some learn to hide it well
I saw that only if you care, you feel Fear
And that is Life, in a nutshell
I know this isnt as dark as the others, but what the hell, this is the only major fear I felt. Hopefully my writing skills haven't left me along with the darkness
Cheers

u are afraid to face fear - that is the irony
Viji
fear will remain else there is no point to any of this.... i love watching u say all this in a quiet way
i agree that this isn't as intense as the others. i didn't feel the tingling sensation at the pit of my stomach when i read this one. But these 2 lines kinda make up for it
Fear is the essence of the Human Soul,
And some learn to hide it well
