The strongest, most powerful worstest fear of all <br />Is the one where what you fear is actually nothing at all <br />The fear that is generated out of thin air <br />Is the one of which you must be the most beware <br /> <br />For if you don’t know what it is, that leaves you trembling weak <br />How can you overcome it, you don’t know where it sleeps <br />Your enemy is invisible, elusive and adept <br />At not allowing you, to know where it is kept <br /> <br />You search in every corner, every nook and cranny <br />But not a trace do you find, for it is far too canny <br />You cannot get a single glimpse, but you certainly feel its power <br />It has you where it wants you, in a perpetual cower <br /> <br />There must be a way of conquering this evil freak <br />Of stopping it from causing all the havoc that it wreaks <br />And if you are so lucky as to find out what it is <br />Can you please, please tell me, you really are a whiz <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2003)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-worstest-one-humour-inspiration/
