I’m afraid to
think, for the fear of facing the reality is more than intellect
I’m afraid to laugh, for I know it would become a way of life to escape the torment of everyday
life.
I’m afraid to talk, for the fear of having pretending of everything is well the entire life
I’m afraid of
smiling, for I know I can smile and the facade would never fade away.
I’m afraid of moving
on, for the fear of losing the one last connection with the past.
I’m afraid of
finding a dream, for the scar of the shattered dream still taints my routine.
I’m afraid of resurfacing
again, for the fear that it would only be to go under again.
I’m afraid of crying, for I know it will be only a temporary solace for the battered soul.
I’m afraid of
changing, for I know I have already come to a place where I can never go back.
I’m afraid to sleep, for the fear that I would never want to wake up and face tomorrow.
