Our thoughts are fear
Happiness is fear
Fear that you could someday lose that happiness
Hate is fear
Fear that you could someday love what you hate
Love is fear
Fear that you could forget that feeling you have of the love
Sorrow is fear
Fear that someday that will happen to you
Fear mocks you as you worry of life
Any question asked is fear
Emotions shown express fear
Life is not fear but the thoughts you think are
As you see that snake ready to strike
All it sees is the fear you think
For you cannot show fear
The gasp of breath you take as you fall is fear
Fear that pain will follow
And pain is just what replaces fear temporarily
Pain then brings back the thoughts you have
Fear

The author's comments:
I was walking around my six acre piece of land, then started to describe it to myself. All i thought of were the snake holes and thought fear and decided to describe that to myself and came up with this poem. I ran inside to type it up as fast as i could because i knew i would regret it if i didn't.
