What Do I Fear?


I lay here, shaking while tears stream down my face.

I can't seem to remember why I feel this way.

Is it time flying by or the love I never feel?

Is it the fear of making a mistake or the thought of not being true to myself?

What do I fear?

Why do I feel like this?

Is it this feeling of hurt or the thought of hurting someone?

Am I afraid of the things that are unexpected?

Is it the feeling of losing the ones I love?

The idea of never being able to speak?

Is the idea that I could lose everything in the blink of an eye?

What am I afraid of?

Is it the hopelessness I feel constantly?

The thought that everything I do will never be enough?

Is it the things I can never seem to say?

The me that I can never seem to be?

Is it the thought that my true self will be revieled?

I think the thing I fear most...is myself.
