Fear
In a world ordained by mad men
I am treading water gulping for freedom
Paralysis grips the body
The struggle to move mounts
Would it be more peaceful to slip away
Call it a day and be done with it
Along the horizon the sunrise beamed
Not much of a choice
I take a breath
Release it
Find that I can stand
With support
Fear is in retreat
~ Camille
“Fear” is a poem about survival in real time — a poem that moves from paralysis and overwhelm toward breath, support, and the quiet return of ground beneath your feet.
Printed in vibrant red ink on earthy oatmeal-toned recycled paper, this piece holds a hard-won turning point — a reminder that even in a world shaped by mad men, sunrise still arrives, and fear can retreat when we do not stand alone.
