...hopeless is never frowned upon when hidden in this open fall.
Tumbling away yet closer to capture.
When found, trapped, there is relief.
Peace at the foot of your worse fear.
Because there it stands and still you are or may be.
Decisions blur in the fog of breathless, afraid, alone.
Grip to the ankles of your imaginary monster.
Hands dripping in tears from fearing fear and kissing petrification.
It's eyes burn blue and flash red when your heart skips a beat.
Touch him.
He won't go away.
Face him, he'll only stare back.
Know him?
Ask his name...
then fear will be no more.

The true solution to fear
Excellent!!! I love a good poem with wisdom. Something that truely enlightens readers with a brave fresh perspective and inspires strength to overcome. I like how you also have a sentimental touch in the imagery of the classical "monster in the closet".

Absolutely Amazing
I think that this is an awesome write, my fellow Queen, you did a wonderful job conveying a great way to rid yourself of fears. I have a guide who once told me that when I dream of scary people ask them for a gift as opposed to running from them, and guess what, it opened up a whole new world of my dreams. Great job. Merry Part and Blessed Be. -

"Grip to the ankles of your imaginary monster." This is very astute advice for any poet. Really, the whole poem speaks to that. Well done.

once fear is identified it has a better chance of going away...this is what i pulled from your poem
you have some good phrasing going on in your poem. you paint a dark picture but end with triumph
