Honors Student, Competitive Edge Presidential Leader 2004-2005,
and President of the Alpha Delta Rho chapter of Phi Theta Kappa,
would inadequately describe the effervescent personality of Samantha
March, but briefly states a few accomplishments she has attained
since her matriculation into BC in January 2003. This Jamaican
student is also a member of SGA, IVCF, and a contributing writer
to The Observer and P'an Ku Literary Magazine. One of her literary
works, "Fear", was published in Phi Theta Kappa's Anthology,
Nota Bene 2004. This poem explores the height and depth of the
effects that fear might have on a person, written with
a rhythmic sense and unique flare. This young writer uses her
experiences and those of others to write her pieces, which currently
total to 35. "It's important that we find meaningful, nonviolent
means of expression, as it will free our mind, body, and soul," states
Ms. March. |

Fear
It's crippling, it's crawling,
It's holding me.
The strength never ending,
As your eyes can see.
Anxiety,
Depression,
Sweet songs to me.
Obsession,
Recreation,
You can't love me.
The beauty.
It changes.
It ranges, in stages.
For ages.
It limits my wages
It constantly pages,
It feels me so deeply
I feel it so feebly.
My heart chants steadily
My soul succumbs readily,
To the hurt inside me
To the pain that scarred me.
To the hope that kills me
And yet, it thrills me.
I can't turn back
My heart's off track,
My mind's set back
To the days turned black.
I feel the gloom
Surround this room,
The earth, its moon
Points to my doom.
I think so quick
But it's a trick,
Too late to prick
I'm getting sick.
No longer here
It's gone! It's there!
Nothing left to share
Left cold and bare.
But yet, it builds.
My inside, it chills.
My pride, it fills.
That cup, it spills.
I used to glow
It used to show,
It stems my flow
It's fear.
