"I am afraid."

It feels so strange to say it out loud, to hear myself finally give

life to such a familiar feeling. I have always buried

fear, calling it weakness in hopes it would

go away. It never went away, I just

believed in both. Weakness and

fear now attacked my systems.

I didn't talk to anyone. How

could I? That would be admi-

tting I was weak. Instead, I

just opted to be afraid.
