The Fear We Wish We Had

We were once all young, We once didn’t care, It did not matter if they did stare; But that song has been sung. We were told when we got older, all our fears would shrink, But now we’re insecure, And we care what people think. Farewell, that childish freedom. We speak of being free of fear, We speak like all we need is near, But we overlook the fear we found, When losing all our fears; That nagging insecurity we find, And we all do, While mourning the loss of conquerable fears.

Hi Bobby, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
