Uncertainty

sorenbarrett

Uncertainty immersed in fear, initially does appear as a small sprout

It germinates a tear. Like a spear that pierces, hemorrhaging doubt

 

Trepidation rends my breast

 

A sentinel so near, not a seer, unsure how things will turn out

Not clear where destiny will steer, I quake and shake and shout

 

Panic builds its nest

 

Wishing it to disappear, yet still it does adhere, ignorant of what it's about

From its path so shear, I attempt to veer, hoping paranoia to rout

 

Still on a quest

 

Afraid to hear, or peer in a mirror, it hovers and does tout

How dear is our last year, when one will be worn out

 

Now I can rest

      Those double negatives always left me uncertain. Now you're getting me going again. Thanks Orchi.

        Oh lol. It\'s them poetic iambic parameter thingys that bother me - if I knew what they were! We probably use them without knowing. lol.

        love the 'T' rhyme scheme
        anchors that Tearing of comfort
        that forcibly
        flustered, unseTTled state
        you depict, so vividly
        and I think your formatting worked really well
        that gap/space, element
        adds to a stepping feel, lines
        descending
        to those anchoring realisation's..
        a wonderful showcasing
        of your technical prowess, dear Poet
