FEAR HIDDEN

Ed Ehrlicher

fear inside
feeling as if sweat
ran down my face,
as if my eyes
were twitching,
my left hand shaking
with tremors,
my stomach wrenching,
my heart fluttering.

Inside is the real
fear of hell,
blinding, blasting
out of a dark hole,
spewing forth a
raging fire,
consuming
all within.
