What are you most afraid of? The recurring, always differently interpreted theme in your nightmares? The thing that makes you nervous and gives you ghost stomach pains?

Over Fences

Always jumping over fences

Some are low

Some high

A never ending chase

They come from earth

They come from sky

Always jumping over fences

Too petrified to cry

As we sink we tell each other

"Maybe someday we will fly"

My Biggest Fear

I am afraid to trust. The moment you trust somebody, let them see who you really are, you're vulnerable. They could leave, they could turn on you, or they could break you. There's no longer a mask to hide behind. You're laid bare, and you can't hide. Trust is easily lost, and every time I trust, I get hurt. So I'm afraid, because what if I do trust someone? Will they turn their back like everyone else? It's better to keep people at a distance, to spare myself from the pain. Trust is a disease. You start to trust, and then you can only wait, helplessly, for the betrayal.

I am afraid of being alone, and so I am afraid of friendship. Friends hurt you. They leave you and they leave scars. The best way I've found to avoid loneliness is to be lonely, because at least it's my choice.

Never Will I Ever

Never will I ever forget the thing I dread,

Never will I ever stay put while waiting for the end,

Never will a year go by without the reminder,

Never a horrific stride of life let me be blinder

And let me forget the coffin, the end of all the ends

Where I am supposed to rest and winder,

But what if they are mistaken

and my life has not yet faded,

Awoken by a suffocation and jaded by despair,

Never will I want to be the finder of pre-hell

Don’t dwell and release me from the flame cell
