A Toast to Fear
by Elizabeth Challinor
Words
Hopeless

Maybe
A cauldron
Of emotions
Brewing in the dark
Light
No
Go away
You dont have a place
You are not always the solution
Let darkness thicken
Cobwebs spread
Spiders crawl
Shadows dance
Confusion intensify
Certainties dissolve
And then
Only then
When the attic
Of the soul
Has spewed out
The unthinkable
Is it time
To smile
And speak your truth
