I am scared
I am afraid
I am terrified
I am frightened
All these words follow me like a shadow
Attached to my very body
Refusing to let go
at least that is what I think
I have no soul
I have heart
I have no tears
But I do have a secret
I hold on to it for dear life
Because I am AFRAID that things will change
Because I am SCARED that I will scar beyond measure
Because I am TERRIFIED that I won't be strong enough to handle what comes next
Because I am FRIGHTENED that things will fall apart
I hold on to it as my only source of comfort
Maybe because when I close my eyes
I see the everlasting darkness, stretched all around me
Unwilling to let go, unwilling to escape
Then suddenly I see it
I see it there in front of me
A white, golden door leading out
Beckoning me to it
Yet I don't move
I have a way out
But yet I don't move
My way to freedom
But still, I don't move
I try to reach out
But my quivering body overtakes me
Why am I shaking
Why won't I fight back
Is it because I am afraid
Is it because I am scared
Is it because I am frightened
Is it because I am terrified
I don't know anything but one thing
I have a secret
A secret about fear
A secret about me
I have a secret
Fear is my secret.
