Fear

  There is the fear inside me.  It is trying to consume me.  It is like a flame that sometimes falters then in a moment it roars to life.  Fire that licks stiffled air surrounding it.  It feeds,and grows,and consumes me, my thoughts, my mind.  I must be responsible for my children.  I alone.  The one who was once my love has gone to another.  Left with mocking cruel and wicked ways.  He intwines with his serpentress and they are eager to consume fear and sadness.  For that is their substance, that fuels the fire.  To give them more of what they desire.    Let me breath,God,let me feel.  The comfort of protection, and let it be real.I need not this fear that devours me inside.  What i need is courage, to move fear aside.
