Scared of everything

Scared

By: Erin 

I wear a front all day long

It says to the people around me “I am strong.”

What would you do if I told you

I’m scared all the way through

Heart pounding

Palms sweating

Heavy breathing

Stomach churning

I am scared.

I am scared I will not live up

I am scared you will not like me close up

I am scared I will lose you in my life

I am scared right around the corner is strife

I am scared my demons will return

I am scared my life will upturn

I am scared.

I guess for me it all adds up to everything I do not understand

Or the things that go against what I have planned

But when I remember the best times I’ve been through

They were the things that happened without having a clue

So maybe I can be less scared of that might happen to me

And trust the Lord that love is key

I don’t know what will happen tomorrow or the next day

But it just might take my breath away

I may be scared sometimes or anxious too

But I’m going to change my fear into excitement by altering my point-of-view

Those bad things above might happen one day

But tough things have happened, and will happen again – but I know I will be okay.
