Fear is the wind's chill dancing down your back

Fear is the

Tap

Tap

Tapping

Of a branch outside your window pane

Fear is like a dark black cape that slowly covers your face

It is nonexistent

Then all at once

It intoxicates you

Like the addicting smell of fresh baked cookies that you are unable to stop eating

Uncertainty is the root of fear's tree

Waiting patiently to JUMP out and make you

Trip

Fall

Then

Crumble

Uncertainty is waiting for the bus to come

Wondering if it will ever come

Wondering if you will be late

Uncertainty is like a light

On

Off

On

Off

Which way should you go

On

Off

On

Off

Until you finally make that decision

Until you decide to leave it on

No harm can be done

Right?

Wrong!

Because you are still left with that dread

What if you had left it off?

What would have been different?

But you will never know

For you have already made your decision

And yet you are still left with the

Uncertainty

Of what would have had happened

Had you left the light off
