Poems About Fear

Deep within my mind it lies,
A fear I cannot deny.
It grips me in its icy hold,
And makes my heart grow cold.

I try to push it far away,
But it always finds its way.
It whispers in my ear at night,
And fills my days with blight.

But I will not let it win,
I'll fight it with my all.
For though it may be strong,
I am stronger still.

I stand at the edge of the cliff,
And look down at the sea.
The water is so far below,
And the wind is whipping free.

I feel the fear start to rise,
As I contemplate the fall.
But then I take a deep breath,
And take the leap after all.

For the fear of falling,
Is not as bad as the fear of not trying.

In the dark, my mind races,
With thoughts of what might be.
I try to shake the fear,
But it clings to me like a leech.

I close my eyes and count to ten,
But the darkness is still there.
I reach for the light switch,
But it's not to be found anywhere.

But then I remember,
The darkness can't hurt me.
It's just the unknown,
And I'll find my way through eventually.

I hold on tight,
To what I fear to lose.
But the tighter I grip,
The more it slips away from me.

I try to control,
But it's out of my hands.
I realize then,
That I must let go and take a stand.

For the fear of losing,
Is not as bad as the fear of never trying.

The fear within me grows,
A constant battle to be fought,
It clouds my mind and flows,
A heavy weight to be caught.

It grips my heart with icy claws,
And steals my breath away,
It makes me feel so small,
And pushes me to sway.

But I won't let it win,
I'll face it head on,
For though it may begin,
I'll rise until it's gone.

6."

The fear of failure looms,
A shadow cast on all I do,
It makes me question my worth,
And causes my dreams to skew.

It whispers in my ear,
That I'm not good enough,
That I'll never be a success,
And my efforts will be tough.

But I'll push on through the fear,
And strive for all I'm worth,
For even though it may be near,
I'll prove to it that I'm not just a mere.

The fear of the unknown creeps,
A chill down my spine,
It makes me question my steps,
And causes doubts to align.

It tells me to turn back,
And play it safe,
But I'll push through the attack,
And take the road less paved.

For though the unknown may be scary,
It's where growth and change reside,
And I'll face it head on, steady,
For that is where my true self resides.

The fear of being alone,
Echoes through my mind,
It makes me question my own,
And leaves me feeling confined.

It tells me that I'll never find,
Someone to understand,
But I'll leave this fear behind,
And reach out for a hand.

For even in the darkest night,
There's always a star to guide,
And I'll keep holding on tight,
Until I find my other side.

The fear of change grips me,
A vice that won't let go,
It makes me question my destiny,
And the path that I must know.

It tells me to stay the same,
And not to take a chance,
But I'll break through this chain,
And let my wings expand.

For change may be scary,
But it brings growth and new light,
And I'll face it head on, not wary,
For I know it will make my future bright.

Within this cage I stay,
My fear has led me astray,
I try to break free,
But its grasp holds me tightly.

The fear deep within me,
Stems from the unknown,
The fear of what could be,
Will forever have me prone.

The shadows that loom,
Mistakes of my past,
Haunt me with fear,
And leave me aghast.

The fear that once held me,
Is now just a memory,
I broke free of its grip,
And now my heart sings with glee.

Medium Poems

In the dead of night, when all is still
And the world outside is dark and chill,
Quiet whispers and eerie sounds
Make my heart race, my fears unbound.

I hide beneath my covers tight,
As shadows dance in flickering light,
My mind races, my breath comes fast,
Haunted by doubts that forever last.

Will the darkness consume me whole,
Or will the morning light take its toll?
I long to break free from this fear,
And embrace the day without a tear.

As I stand on the edge of the cliff,
My mind is filled with a paralyzing myth,
That one step forward could be my last,
And my life will be over in a flash.

I feel my legs trembling with fright,
My palms clammy as I contemplate,
The abyss that lies before my eyes,
An endless chasm, a bottomless surprise.

But then I summon all my might,
And take a step toward the light,
I breathe in the wind, the sun, the air,
And soar above my despair.

In this labyrinth of life I tread,
On a path that is narrow and dread,
I know not what dangers lie ahead,
Or if the road will take me to bed.

I feel the sweat trickle down my back,
As I move forward without a rack,
I wonder if I have what it takes,
To brave the unknown, the risky fakes.

But then I remember why I am here,
To explore, to learn, to overcome fears,
And so I march on, head held high,
Ready to face the world with a spirited cry.

Long Poems

The shadows creep and crawl,
Like tendrils reaching out to enthrall.
My heart races, pounding loud,
As I realize I am not proud.

Fear grips me tight in its hold,
I struggle, but cannot break the mold.
Every breath feels like a fight,
As I try to find some respite.

My mind fills with dark thoughts,
As I imagine all the things I am not.
The unknown looms, a menacing threat,
I feel like I'm drowning in regret.

I know I should stand my ground,
But I'm frozen, unable to make a sound.
My dreams and aspirations fade,
As I watch them slip away, afraid.

The weight of fear is crushing,
Leaving me feeling small and unrelenting.
I reach out for a helping hand,
But am met with a barren wasteland.

My thoughts spiral out of control,
As I struggle to keep my soul whole.
The grip of fear tightens its hold,
And I feel like I'm losing control.

But in the midst of the darkness,
A flicker of hope sparks a new harness.
I hold on tight, determined to fight,
And inch closer to the light.

The grip of fear loosens its hold,
As I find the courage to be bold.
I conquer my demons, and stand tall,
Ready to face any challenge, big or small.

Fear may grip me once again,
But I know that I have gained,
The strength to fight, the will to survive,
And the courage to thrive.
