We are all afraid of something. Whether it is being alone or being afraid of the darkness or love. Whatever that fear is… we hold onto those fears for dear life and a lot of the time it is hard to let go of those fears. Sometimes those fears change over time and sometimes they stay the same. The main thing is trying to get over those fears because if we stay afraid how can we live our lives? This leads me to my first quote of this post. Rudyard Kipling says “Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are your own fears.” In other words, we cannot listen to our fears. We have to face them head on. For me personally I feel as if I have a few fears. I think one of them is being alone. I feel as if a lot of other people have this fear as well. I know that it is something that I am continuously working on and facing head on. I think I will conclude with one final quote by Robert Kiyosaki who says “Face your fears and doubts, and new worlds will open to you.” That resonates with me a whole lot. Anyways… here is a poem that I will share with you today.
Being Alone In This World
What are you most afraid of?
Being alone I replied. Why?
Because I could be surrounded
By people yet still feel alone.
People can give me all their love
Yet they do not see the tears I cry.
I can be stable and be well grounded
Yet the dirt and every single stone
Beneath my feet may give and no
One would care. Give up your fears,
But how can I trust everyone when
They give me no reason to be free?
Maybe I am afraid of losing my glow
And to be dull. It is losing the years
I spent building myself with the pen
In my grasp. I am afraid of losing me.
