fear

why is it we have fear
what are we really afraid of
some are scared to love
some are scared to be loved
some are scared to leave their home
some are scared to have others in their home
some are scared to be around people
some are scared to be alone
some are scared to be scared
some are scared because they dont know why they are scared
some are scared to let anyone in their life
some are scared and afraid to ask the questions
some are scared to die
some are scared to fail
some are scared to trust
some are scared to care
some are scared to hurt
some are scared
and some aren't scared
i have my own fears
i wont list them
dont want to let anyone know all my secrets
and my vulnerabilities
but know i have fears
and am facing some of them dead on right now
even as i am typing this.
