My Greatest Fear

My greatest fear  
Not knowing the unknown unable to see the visible UN-capable  
To trust on instinct to depend  on mix emotions to lose sight and let 
My guard down to be a prisoner of my own demise to lose awareness of 
What's happening around me to let disruption disrupt my life  
To walk in the dark unable to touch feel since what's ahead frustration 
To mention a few go wrongs all the while fighting to remain strong  
 My greatest fear  
To lose the fight that has just begun to rise from the bottom up 
To be unable to withstand all the obstacles thrown my way  
Day by day I pray for better days not to say I'm far from my yesterdays  
Will linger just a little longer until I get stronger to let go of the ropes 
That hopes to keep me tied down to the ground with such profound force  
I will prevail and conquer I have to get back to myself have too many counting  
I find my way out of the darkness into the light of brighter days 
My greatest fear  is to come face to face with me myself and I  
My greatest fear is of the unknown unexpected unreliable entrusted
