I am frightened Of bumps that sound in the night I am frightened Of fighting my next fight I am frightened Of giving my own space to share I am frightened That one day no one will be there I am frightened When phone rings its vice like tune I am frightened When my turn has come too soon I am frightened Of swaying at dizzying heights I am frightened Of telling my parents goodnight I am frightened Of what I'd do for another's embrace I am frightened Of sharing someone else's space I am frightened Of things that may never come true I am frightened Of the possibility that they do I am frightened Of thoughts that are carved in my skin I am frightened Of truths that ring through them I am frightened Of hate that I swim like the sea I am frightened For it's aimed not at you, but me I am frightened That one day I may conquer that hate I am frightened That "one day" may be too late I am frightened.....
I am frightened.
I wrote this when I was on the edge of an anxiety attack. I wasn't sure if I wanted to share it, it's not one of my best writes but it's means a lot to me
