My fear precedes me

entry picture

How hard the knock-

the knock of a world

lent against its self

and

gone awry .

The thinking bits that

find their ends

to meet  themself,

this thinking self ...has ever

yet to mean it-

prove it!

Yet all this squandered time,

these million hours have

a time to thrill -

a time to its own terror.

And i will post this warning:

(to a self)

I fear death;

not as I fear anonymity 

but its real fear:

Absence.

◄ I'm Simple this way

She held her self still ►

This is so beautiful I wrote this panic poem about fear and death aswell

God Kitty

He’s coming, death
He was lurking around and he is here
They call for a savior
And pretend that he has arrrived
But this is true why am I afraid to go outside
What If I go outside and there is a cat
And you walk up to the cat
Because cats are nice and cuddly like pillows
But out of nowhere the cat turns into a monster
And says “I’m god you’re going to die”
And you are like "fuck you god, Im scared because of you”

Perhaps the hardest human 'truth' to speak of honestly; and I think you have concluded the real fear accurately. For me, the whole poem is dramatically contained in the final four lines.
