PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A friend told me to loosen up and have fun

When I get afraid, from my fears don't run.

He told me I have to meet them face to face

Oh, but why can't I just look at them and erase.



I am afraid of fear.  I am afraid of lust.

I am afraid of God.  I am afraid of trust.

I am afraid of being alone, yet I'm afraid to be loved

I am afraid that my angel will call from above.



I am afraid to be here, closed in by walls.

No one can hear my screams or calls.

I am afraid to think.  More afraid to speak.

I am afraid of you and it makes me weak.



I am afraid of the world around me

I am afraid of one day becoming to be

Everything that I am afraid of, deep inside

I am afraid that my fears no longer hide.



I curl up, I curse at the shadows on the floor

I start praying that life would be much more

It doesn't work.  I am still afraid of fear

It hurts me inside.  It brings a tear.



I am afraid of crying.  Afraid of being in pain

Afraid that after this, there's nothing to gain.

"I have to face this", I repeat over again.

Maybe one day... My fears will all end.
