I'm scared

I fear my family

If I wasn't born into their lives would they still like me?

I fear my friends

Are they with me because they feel like they have to be? Do they wish I would leave them alone?

I fear there won't be any elephants left when I die

I like elephants. I feel like they matter even though some people think they don't. Why do people think they don't?

I fear first impressions

Do people really not like me when they meet me? Is that even something I can change?

I fear I'll get sad like I used to

Could I even handle that?

I fear graduation

Then what? I don't want to leave this part of my life. How are people not afraid of that?

I fear not graduating 

I can't even imagine the disappointment

I fear being ungrateful

I need to appreciate this more. Appreciate you more. Appreciate everything more

I fear missed opportunities 

I should have done this. I should have don't that. Should have tried. Why didn't I try?

I fear death

Not my death, but others. Yours. Theirs. My friends and family. I'm afraid every day that something will happen. Every minute someone's late is another scenario where I don't see them again

I fear how anxious I get

Will I ever calm down? How do I relax? Will I ever be able to enjoy anything without worrying about the next moment?

I fear how afraid I really am.



I really am
