Fear

Fear is holding me back.
Fears standing in my way.
Fears always on my mind.
Dreaming of fear every night.
Running from fear every day.

Fear in my eyes.
Fear in my heart.
Fear in my thoughts.
Fears taking over me.

Don't know how.
Don't know why.
Where to turn?

I'm scared.
I worry.

Fear.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

It sounds like anxiety, Christina. I hope you can overcome it! (unless this is just fiction, and in that case, I can just say, good way to empathize with those who feel too much fear)!
