Just like the last poem I posted by this writer, this one too was well executed. A shorter poem, but a poem that catches your mind instantly.
This poem was written by Olivia-H (MX Ink) and it is titled Fear.
FEAR
Of all,
I fear HUMANS.
They,
have EYES
have LIMBS
have JAWS
have MOUTH
and of all, they,
have SOMETHING inside their SKULL
which governs, above all.
I fear that SOMETHING.
Please let me know what you guys think as well about the poetic ability of this captivating writer. I can only hope you all enjoy the good reads this writer publishes.

Getting through fear is a skill that anyone can learn. The problem is that most people cling to their fears, because it's part of who they are. If you aren't ready to face your fears, you probably won't transcend them. And there's nothing wrong in that. Everything happens in its own time.
>This is captivating poem and i am in love with it, i look forward to see more of you, these because there is power in communication with the use of poems
I like this.. It kind of defines human nature, as she is essentially saying that she fears the very thing that makes us specifically human; our thinking mind!
We may have everything that animals share (mouths, eyes, jaws etc.) but only Human's have that increased mind that's hard to predict and even harder to understand. A fear that draws us to it in excitement as equally as it scares us away.
Fear is irrational and this poem manages to capture something of this. We cannot truly know something/someone & fear it/them.
Hence fear of the Unknown, Strangers, etc... This, too, the poem does, by defamiliarizing the human & turning them into something bestial and dangerous.
I am the author of 3 published books of poems and would love if you featured my poetry next, here’s a selection :)
