The Haze of Fear

I stand back

And simply stare

As the world rolls on before me

I wish to watch objectively

But fear clouds my mind

A haze of uncertainty

Causing me to draw conclusions

Based on my limited knowledge

This paralyzing, all encompassing, fear

Builds an impenatrable wall

Between me

And the world that you know

I wish to understand

Life

As you see it

To comprehend

The dreams

That you share with me

But I am unable

The meanings fall away from me

As a fog of terror

Descends upon me

What if I ruin everything?
