Afraid

I'm afraid of dying 
But I'm also afraid of living 

I'm afraid of getting shot or stabbed 
But I'm also afraid of falling of a skateboard or driving over the speed limit 

I'm afraid of losing family members
But I'm also afraid of having kids

I'm afraid of drinking too much and throwing up 
But I'm also afraid of how I'll look if I don't drink at all 

I'm afraid that I might be too conceited and full of myself 
But I'm also afraid that I wont fit in and nobody will like me 

I'm afraid that I won't fulfil my dreams and aspirations 
But I'm also afraid that I will become successful but I still won't be satisfied 

I'm afraid that I will find the love of my life but she will be unfaithful to me 
But I'm also afraid that i will find the love of my life and i will be unfaithful to her 

I'm afraid that when i die I will not be remembered for what I want them to remember me for 
But I'm also afraid that when i die no one will remember me at all
