Overwhelming
Intimidating
Unerving
So many emotions to describe
one word.
One powerful,
Underestimated word.
When you know that
any minute it could happen.
It could be the end,
Great amounts of pain,
Death,
Life,
Abuse,
Love,
Hate.
Knowing that it could happen at any moment.
The feeling you get.
The one we hide the most.
The one we treat as nothing.
The one we ignore.
That feeling,
it takes over your feelings, body, mind.
Another silent killer.
You don't notice.
Brush it off and act like everythings ok.
That only makes it worse.
One word,
Four letters,
Overwhelming,
Intimidating,
Unerving,
Fear.

Very interesting and powerful write... It is truly an underestimated word ... For the one who feels knows, might be difficult for others to relate and may be easy to judge..
Thanks for your entry.. Good Luck.. !

Intriguing. Who would have ever thought to describe fear. It does have many different shades, very true. I liked this. Simplistic and understandable.
