The Worst Fear

Fear of flying,
Fear of crying,
Fear of being afraid,
Fear of dying early
And fear that when you get to the promise land,
It will just be New Jersey.

I spent the first 18 yrs of my life trying to get out of Jersey. If that weren't be true promise land would actually be my hell. That's a promise I prefer not to be kept.
