I Am Afraid


I am afraid.. I am afraid that people will find out about my secret and decide not to keep it I am afraid that the world will come crashing down on me and I will only have He I am afraid of hurting the ones I love and the man from above I am afraid of not taking chances at romance and being alone while the stars dance I am afraid of not living up to my full potential and not getting my credentials But most of all I am afraid of being too afraid because that is a trait I cannot escape and the pain will not go away unless I stop being so afraid
