I found myself on a dusky, dark street. <br />I found myself afraid of what I might meet. <br />But all I met was fear of the unknown. <br />I feared the thought that I was alone. <br /> <br />The fear was palpable and chilled my bones. <br />There were dark and sinister undertones <br />to what I pictured would happen to me. <br />What it was I couldn't foresee. <br /> <br />What I was doing here I realized now. <br />I was here to overcome fear somehow. <br />I looked up and saw the moon in my view, <br />the same old moon from the streets I knew. <br /> <br />With that in mind I ventured ahead <br />and left that place that brought me dread. <br />The mind can conjure up all kinds of things <br />and when it does, oh the terror it brings.<br /><br />Edwina Reizer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/facing-fear-3/
