Fear

This emptiness slowly tears me apart
How much more can I take
I'm so scared of my emotions
It's only so long until I break

My worry consumes all of me
It takes away every bit of pleasure
I'm fearful of the days to come
My pain seems to last forever

The past keeps haunting me
Reminding me of so many mistakes
I fear to make these choices
That will turn into heartbreaks

I don't want to fall apart
Or start to drown in my sorrow
I'm scared of what the future brings
I can barely face tomorrow

So impossible to escape sadness
It always takes place
I'm so fearful of more suffering
And the tears running down my face

I feel myself slipping away
I'm not the person I used to be
This agony makes me realize
It's fear that's taking over me
