Dreams & Fears #tanka #5lines

in circles we chased
the dreams of desperation
          trying as advised;
walking over broken hope
as fear chase the bleeding soul.

humanity

Who is
born free
of fears?

I fear

I have lost count now
of lines that saw light
and many more discarded
for i did not have time.

I still fear the day,
no lines will i have to say.

I have lost track now
of ideas that clicked
and many more forgotten
without even trying a bit.

I am scared of the time
when no ideas will come alive.

I have lost count now
of hours i spent to obsess
I have lost track now
of emotions spent in the process.

I still fear,I am still scared,
the moment i start
to draw a blank for always.
