I’m so afraid

I just want to run away

I need to get away from everything

I need to run away as far as I can

I’m not safe here

But why am I so afraid?

What am I afraid of?

I’m afraid of the dark

I’m afraid of failure

I’m afraid of being alone

I’m afraid of the silence

I’m afraid of the visions I see every time I close my eyes

I’m afraid of my own thoughts

I’m afraid of losing

I’m afraid of giving it my all in a competition and still hear “sorry you weren’t good enough”

I’m afraid to go out and try something new

I’m afraid… so afraid
