I'm Afraid

The Motion

I'm afraid I will not be successful

I'm afraid of reincarnation

I'm afraid of society

I'm afraid of commitment

I'm afraid to fully trust someone

I'm afraid of being Unaccepted 

I'm afraid of people closest to me leaving me behind

I'm afraid of losing the people closest to me

I'm afraid of being forgotten

I'm afraid of the afterlife not being what I'm imagining

I'm afraid of pain

I'm afraid of being stuck at a job I never wanted

I'm afraid of my idols not being remembered forever

I'm afraid I will never be good enough to stand out forever

I'm afraid I might not ever be immortalized

I'm afraid that I love you but you love me not...

I love this, brutally honest.
I can understand the reasoning behind each and every fear.
Reincarnation has always been one of my fears as well, I think I would rather there be nothing to be reincarnated... yet there is that tiny glimmer of hope for a second chance.
I think these are fears that every human experiences throughout their lives. I believe one of the scariest things we all have to go through is our lives not turning out the way we wanted them to are living up to our expectations. Good write!

Thank you for the review! The reincarnation thing to me is very scary for some reason...

This is a poem that we can all relate to. I'm in my 30s and I can relate to all of those fears. It was very well written.

That was very deep and to be honest I'm afraid of all the same things. Im not afraid of reincarnation but everything else...nice poem

[Jack Kennedy]

ah... love the journal style writing, the emotions and putting out there.... that which most do not share. Nice write...

[Jack Kennedy]

Thank you greatly!

You have placed all our afraid before us.... We must face that.

We are all afraid and this poem speaks universally in such a straight-forward manner. Good job.

Hi Jack, thanks for the friendship. This poem was very moving for me. The repetition was like an invitation for me to share what I am afraid of as well. Also, aesthetically, the combination of the the three words, "I'm afraid of," make the left side of your poem look like a tower. [tower of fear?] :))

[Jack Kennedy]

You're welcome on the friend request and thanks for the review. I hope to hear from you again soon!

Great piece anyone can relate in someway. Certain lines though seem as though they are similar to each other. But other than that you did wonderful job.

Brave poem. I think we all should make a list of our fears at least one time, it's kind of liberating. Great job :)

[Jack Kennedy]

Thank you! I honestly assumed I would be labeled Emotional or Soft for this one but I'm glad that was not the case. Thanks again for the review :)

[Brittany Zedalis]
