My Id Wears an Emblem

branded upon sacred folds
my id wears an emblem
of fearful and fearless doubts.
it once manifest in all dangers
who lurked under my bed.
now all that I risk
are all those eidolons ...
my macabre's imagination.
My beasts of thoughts
lurked in dark caverns,
basking in shawdowy absurdities.
I conjured them forth to bear
a glimpse of fear's indifference
and discovered I wore
the casings of hapenstance.
the embodiment of will
became the apparition
who knocks on the wall
as ghosts do for a home.
