The fear that grabs you by the shoulders;
"help!"
The fear that shakes you until you fall;
crash
The fear that whispers in your ear;
"are you scared yet?"
The fear that kisses you on the neck sending chills down your spine;
shudder
The fear that consumes your soul;
empty
The fear that stabs you in the eyes to make the tears run free;
drip, drop
The fear that pushes you down until you feel powerless;
sigh
The dear that leaves you hopeless;
broken
The fear that rips away at your vocal chords;
gasp
The fear that leaves you paralyzed;
"help!"

This was an assignment for my English class. We had to choose an object, place, or idea to personify and I thought it would be pretty cool to do fear.
