Afraid

by Unamed   Jul 11, 2009


Take a minute to wonder.
Where will i be in a year?
In five, in ten, in twenty?

An irrational fear wells up deep inside.
I'm scared of what will happen.
I'm so unsure of what i will become.

I have my dreams, but sometimes...
Sometimes a panic rises above,
What if i don't have the courage?

In a year i will leave my home.
Go to college to study.
But a panic rises above again.

What if i don't get any scholarships?
What if i don't get accepted to any college?
Many "What if's" pop in my head.

I think, what really scares me,
What really makes my anxiety rise,
What really makes me panic...

Is that i'm afraid of the unknown.
Afraid of the future.
Afraid of what's to come.

***I'm really reeaally rusty. I haven't written in over a year, so i'm sorry if this is sucky reading. = / ***

    Sometimes we let out our feelings and the message is more important then the poetic value of the verse. I think this is one of those:)
    Being afraid of the future is a normal feeling, just so you know!
    Thing is to find ways to control your fear and usually that is done by building on your self confidence and doing things to secure your future, like working on school/ carreer and taking good care of yourself and the people around you.
    Someone once said: when you live right, the dream will come to you. So you need not worry, live right, do all you can to be a good person and things will be fine, whatever the exact outcome may be:)

    Take care,
