Scared
soheil khodaparasti said:
Excellent. Fear is projected outward, transforming the feared into a role that someone else must occupy. It moves through individuals, making each both victim and threat.
This creates a false equilibrium: fear is not resolved but redistributed. By giving fear an external face, frightened beings create a temporary sense of order, yet the attempt to escape fear generates new fear elsewhere.
The system therefore sustains itself through the continuous circulation of terror. Its balance is maintained not by the absence of fear but by its perpetual transfer.

We\'re all running from someone.
Even the king of the jungle shudders when man turns up.
I suppose the religious know who the real deal is, and maybe they were right all along.

Your poem beautifully captures how innocence evolves into self-protection.

Yes it\'s amazing how some things are Small and grow Large or Dangerous.
You buy a little Puppy for the Kids , then next minute its the Hound of the Baskervilles.
A fave here .

Soren, this really moved me. Growing older so often means developing defenses we never needed at the beginning...and innocence rarely survives without scars. Powerful poem, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Soren, this is one heck of a poem. The tension builds quietly and leaves me holding my breath...waiting for the inevitable shift. Brilliantly done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Wow your metaphor is superb, and yes we can all be changed by circumstances, hopefully for the better yet it\'s not always the case. 🌹

(Before the balance of the pendulum turns over
A silent moment in the eye of a hurricane)
Well put here. I\'m such a fan already.

The eye, the only part of the hurricane that\'s calm.
Seems sort of strange with such a destructive force.
A bit like Trump when he\'s sleeping.

Profound in its simplicity. Unlike the physical traces—skin, hair, sweat, blood, and fingernails—the speaker’s thoughts are intangible fragments of himself that may persist through words or memory.
