Fear
6 June, 2005
Author: Holly
I’ve made excuses for so many years,
Constantly listing all my fears.
But now I’ve had a realisation,
I’ve finally found the explanation.
I’m afraid of people, so I say,
So I prefer to stay away.
I say it’s their fault, that they’ll hurt me,
But now the truth is clear to see.
I say I’m afraid that life is just too hard,
So I live in a bubble, never drop my guard.
But everyone else can manage just fine,
Now I realise, the problem is mine.
I thought I was afraid of everything else,
So I avoided it all and kept to myself.
But now I realise I can never escape,
I can never run away,
Never be free.
Because what I'm really afraid of,
Is me.
------- Author's Notes -------
This is basically realising that it's my own mind that makes me afraid of things. |
