No sleep tonight

No sleep tonight.
Icy darkness brings with it packs of wolves.
My eyes will not shut as they pace below my window.
Hungry.
They hear the thumping within my ribcage and howl.
They wait patiently to devour me, tear me apart,
so that I might feel what it is like to die of fear,
plunging and breathless.
Little did they know I would not give in.
I will stare straight into their beady, green eyes without blinking
and tame them until they are nothing more than needy pups
napping on top of each other at sunrise.

“I will stare straight into their beady, green eyes without blinking”
I like this. A stare can get us out of any trouble.

Yeap, that’s it. Stare straight into the source of the fear, confront it head on. All fear will diminished greatly just by confronting it.

No doubt. That’s fear. The last two lines bring it home – love it.

I like that image at the close. Very nice.
