Love Hates Fear

Love is a demon possession of the soul.

It flails, twisting and writhing

While inside I’m screaming and dying.

Love is a chemical imbalance in the brain.

It confuses, unsettled and fizzing

While my insides are bubbling and whizzing.

Love is a mystery to everyone here.

It flutters, glittering, twirling

While inside my senses are swirling.

Hate is an entirely human emotion.

It seizes, furious and gripping

While inside the bile is diving and dipping.

Hate is able to break your world.

It swells, spreading and filling

While inside I’m punching and killing.

Hate finds trouble in peacetime.

It grows, jealous and loud

While inside I swallow and don’t make a sound.

Fear is a psychological burn.

It’s silent, restraining but physically weak

While inside I’m smaller and emotionally meek.

Fear is a medical condition.

It’s present, anaesthetized but grave

While inside I can feel strong and brave.

Feel is both fleeting and final.

It crumbles, all bravery is eaten

While inside I’m bold, I won’t be beaten.
