Once in my life, I see it crawling and fuming; it seeks food.
I remember the shape of it: skinny and pale, wondering and barely able to walk across the fair. Its eyes were black, and it took shape of a personage.
I remember the time I finally spoke to it with a withered tone. However before I got the air in my lungs, the words refuse to expel, and I am sitting there scared. It began to walk towards- and, not a moment to spare I thought it would attack me in the fair.
Once in my life, I see it crawling and fuming; it seeks a friend.
The time the face look familiar and I could no bear- I was scared and I prefer to be alone.
I remember the time when the personages came. They took and plundered with a little bit of sympathy. Anger from my memories I am taken back, and look at this rigid cat. It is a cat: no claws, no falts, and worst of all, no goals.
When I awoke from my head, the sky shines with lead, and the cat walked away and leaves me with a forever paradox-
The personages were there and looked a little kind over there.
I was walked out of the fog, the sky took a shine, and my paradox was no more.
Once in my life, a cat was there with personages all in a fair, with intentions unreadable, they enjoy them selfs, and leave me there:
scared.

- Comment from author about the poem: Being scared is a feeling many are aware of, but in my opinion, fear is only to be used as a tool: able to recognize the challenges or indicators that conflict with your thinking. Overall fear is scary, but you are worse.

Interesting perspective on fear and its effect. The paradox of fear and the challenge to overcome. Keep publishing.

Thank you very much! And I can also say fear is in everyone's lives- at least to the point where we all can relate!
