[bodytext] => he’s afraid of the blade but not the knife he’s afraid of taking control of his own life he’s afraid of getting started and what comes after being done he’s afraid to change his point of view for fear of what he might become he’s afraid to hear the whisper for the secrets he might find he’s afraid to look behind himself for the truth can be unkind he’s afraid to laugh at misery for the tears that might respond he’s afraid to look at the face of pain for fear he might grow fond he’s afraid of being bad he’s afraid of being good he’s afraid to speak his mind and be misunderstood but I can feel he’s growing stronger can’t hold his breath much longer I feel he might be changing to catch a world that’s rearranging he’s afraid of the rub that’s not a touch he’s afraid of not being afraid too much he’s afraid to live like lightning and move in silver shock he’s afraid to set his hands free and misrepresent the clock he’s afraid of what he’s said afraid of what he’s heard he’s afraid of the connotation of a dark four-letter word he’s afraid to glance toward heaven and by chance create a god he’s afraid to laugh at sorrow for fear that someone might applaud he’s afraid of looking forward he’s afraid of looking back he’s afraid to look into his soul and peer between the cracks but I can feel he’s growing stronger can’t hold his breath much longer I feel he might be changing to catch a world that’s rearranging [comments] => 1 [counter] => 168 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Blake [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
