Day 219: “Fear: an Outlook on Life”

---

I realize that there’s always two outlooks

Sometimes more

ways to look at things

Find the good

The positive

---

But it’s hard

when you’re scared

scared of loss

scared of that feeling

scared to be alone

---

I don’t want to be left alone

I’ve felt it before

And it’s terrible

---

I know that I’m never alone

I have myself

And blah, blah, blah

But sometimes I need to wallow

Sit in fear

Stir in imagined disaster

---

I’m not sure why that is

But that’s where I’m at now

---

I’ll lay my head

down to rest

And hope the fear doesn’t spill into my dreams
