This Inspirational Fear.


The inspiration escapes me today.

Between me fathoming my thoughts,

And what I could dream of,

And what I could think of,

The effort escapes me.

And I do not feel the purpose.

Perhaps I could express a lingering fear,

As I sit here and describe my thoughtlessness.

Because this fear is always a thought.

Always present in reminding me-

That I will forever be this way.

The fear is being alone.

And I hope not to ever be this.

I want to never be alone.

For the love in my heart,

And how much I have to offer to someone,

Needs to always have a purpose.

Or else I might drown in that loneliness.

"There are dreamers and there are realists in this world. You'd think the dreamers would find the dreamers and the realists would find the realists, but more often than not the opposite is true. You see, the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun. And the realists, well without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground."
