The emptiness refuses to leave me, That consistent searing pain in my heart,

The fear of not being accepted,

The fear of being an outcast,

The fear of getting overly attached to the wrong person,

The fear of mistaking the mask for the face,

The fear of being abandoned by my loved ones,

The fear of being an emotional wreck,

The fear of everything unknown,

The fear of fighting the demons inside me and losing,

The fear of failing miserably,

The fear of being unable to distinguish between the right and the wrong,

The fear of being able to do nothing at all,

And the fear of doing them all.

I am a human being and I fall.
