Fear is the word I choose
My mother said that choosing is the first step
to be okay.

Fear is the word I feel
I'm scared of the future,
tomorrow
and even the past.

Fear is the word I despise,
Is this really our end?
Will this have been my worst mistake?

Fear
of you being mooded,
branded of hate.

Fear that you won't be able to see
further than the words,

fear that you won't be able to feel
what it was that stuck.

Fear is the word I chose
My mother said that choosing was the first step
to be okay.
