Fear Poem, by Chad Carlson, at My poetic side

Notice of absence from Chad Carlson
Hey everyone. I'm taking this time to thank everyone that has read my poems, everyone that left comments, taken the time to start a conversation, and Thank you Mason for handing me my first loss in a few years. Like I said you came hard and I respect that.

I'm taking some time to step back and focus on my ever expanding health issues as well as getting into a strong mindset for my upcoming 7th spinal fusion operation. I appreciate you all. This is not goodbye like The Terminator I'll be back... And much like Terminator my spine will be metal.

By Chad Carlson

I'm shaking like a leaf

I'm curled up in a ball

Pressed into a corner

Up against the wall

The fear is ever present

The reason quite unknown

The answer is in my head

But the door is always closed

The meaning of my existence

Is to constantly be afraid

The condition is quite serious

Positions I cannot trade

Some people call me crazy

But if they only knew

Lunacy would be so easy

Compared to what I go through

A welcome change of pace

A reality of untold truth

For if you knew what I did

You'd be petrified too.
