My Greatest Fear

It should be pretty self-explanatory.

I am afraid of spiders

I have no shame in that

They are creepy and disgusting

Yes I cringe at the mere sight of them

Yet they are not my greatest fear

I am afraid of falling from heights

For this I also have no shame 

When I look down and there's nothing beneath my feet 

Yes this puts me at the greatest of unease

Yet this is not my greatest fear

I am afraid of performing in large crowds

Shame still not present here

Will they reject what I poured my heart into

Yes my body shakes when I am asked to

Yet this in not my greatest fear

I have told you things that I fear most

But there's one left that cannot compare

No not even close

I am afraid that I'll grow old alone

Friends and family leaving me behind

Years will pass as I wait

No I can't bare the thought of it

Because this is my greatest fear
