Fear

Hold me close and near
Keep me away from the pain I fear
Protect me now because
I'm not as strong as I once was

I fell through it all
Watched me sink deeper and fall
Capsized in my dreams
Alone on my own as it seems

From one second to the next
I had it all and then nothing like the rest
As I see death ahead
I remember there you were - nothing said

:claps: another good one.. they should have a rating system on these.. so we can rate the poems, lol well.. if they did, i'd say 9.3/10

Hehe you're too nice. This is back when I didn't have that big of a vocabulary.

haha I see.. who says you need lots of diff words to write a good poem? I have a large vocabulary now, but I cant string them together into poetry very well

Hehe...well I just see mine as...plain, I suppose? I feel like the words that I use to rhyme are so basic, you know? Hehe. I bet if you tried, you'd produce a terrific one.

Basic rhymes dont demerit the poem

Meh... just because you said that, I'm going to write a poem in the next day, and prove you wrong well.. we'll see

I like your writing style Kathleen, it's beautifully strung together. Nothing wrong with basic rhymes. Besides, I don't know many people who could rhyme a word like "Soliloquy" or something like that. Big words are often unnecessary.

Its pretty good.

It's really good Kathleen. =) Wow, you're a great writer. Yay!
