Scared

I am truly scared Scared nobody can have a passion for me the way I do them Scared that most good poets were depressed and that I am becoming a good poet Scared that every girl I meet will ultimately reject me Scared that my future has nothing in store Scared I will have nobody by my side in those long dark nights Scared that I can no longer get motivated to do my college work Scared that I am too different for where I am right now Scared that the only good things that happen in my life are the things I can control Scared that one day I will lose all faith Scared of sickness Scared of never being able to sleep like I used to Scared that all this will come true, and that I am not just imagining it.
