"Afraid of ."
  by Syndel


I am afraid one day I will wake up invisible
That while on this journey I will not be recognized
That my existence of greatness resided in the fairytale
Part of my mind

I am afraid one day I will realize my world
Has turned into a kaleidoscope
My words scrambled my mind not mine
Standing still in an oxygen free zone
Creating pretty colors
I invited insanity to stay for a while

I am afraid that when I open my mouth
Vile will spill out and continue to spill
From all the bullshit I have been fed
That I have to purge somewhere somehow
So I sit in this one cold grey chair
Looking out this one window at not a damn thing

I am afraid that yesterday was good and I can’t get it back
Today is an eggshell be careful or crack
Tomorrow I may die & be done with it
Maybe not

I have no fear of dying
In the mist of being afraid of that I cannot control
Keeping silent and not being able to speak
The evolution to it all
it will be what it be

My fear is living and not knowing I’m alive

This touched me deep. Am I living or am I just happy to be alive? This was too deep. We have to live or life wont be worth the struggle. I dig, Idig

Vanquish those fears. You will never be invisible 2those of us who have seen the sum of Your parts on this Site. You must embrace the immortal words of FDR 'There is nothing to fear but fear itself. i hope that 1day You awaken &be afraid of being afraid! i won't stand silent while You scream.
