Give Me the Best of You(show me your soul)

Freeverse, rhyme, sonnet, etc.(anything is allowed). Just keep to the topic as best as you can and keep it clean of excessive swearing or adult content(I'm only a teen.). You will have four prompts to choose from.(pre-writes r encouraged as much as new poems)Here are the prompts:

1. Dark/fear: Give me anything on fear or dark, make me experience such dark and fearful, not distubing, thoughts as to keep me up for weeks and get inside my head. Make me paranoid... try to scare me into insanity.

2. Write on love: anything on love, not lust, love. Loss of, new, happy memories,etc.

3. Thoughts: just give me thoughts that are worthy of being in poetry, not something dumb like,"today I wondered what rocks would do if they had life?"Something that would make someone else feel strongly about it.

4. Write on your soul: tell me the state of your soul, talk of souls of others, just invole souls(can be humor, doesn't have to be serious)

Once you enter tell me what poem is yours and what topic you chose( just for clarification, will not effect judging, trust me I'm to apathetic)
