Fear


Fear that I'll be left behind.

Fear that I might lose my mind. 

Fear that the world might come to an end. 

Fear that one day I'll lose my best friend. 

Fear of the choices I'll have to make.

Fear of not knowing the real from the fake. 

Fear of the inability to tell the truth from a lie. 

Fear of drowning in the tears that I cry. 

Fear of losing the ones that I love.

Fear that there might not be a heaven up above.

Fear that I won't get anywhere in life. 

Fear of being stabbed with a knife. 

Fear of going insane one day. 

Fear of not having the words to say. 

Fear of not being able to see or hear. 

I guess there really is a lot of fear.
