My Greatest Fear

This poem I feel has a lot of promise, yet I feel needs work, any help will be appreciated and those last three lines are pretty killer I must say!

My Greatest Fear

 

I am Scared,

Why? Is this a joke, some adolescent dare?

Or is it something deeper within that of I am unaware?

Why must I live my life in fear?

There is only so much of this that I can endure,

But I don’t see an end any where near.

Is it just fear of this fear that has me petrified?

No, that can’t be it; it would fluctuate in and out like the changing tide.

This anxiety stays at a constant state of terrified.

 

On the exterior there is no evidence of this fright, for I wear a very good mask.

But what are you afraid of? You may ask,

However, answering this question is a much more complex task.

Well to start, there is this one person, who my feelings soar beyond any other rate,

Her beauty as a person and in physical, I have become to infatuate,

What’s holding you back from you two on a date?

Well the sad part is, though my emotions for her almost seem unlimited like the surrounding air,

It takes two to tango, and these sensations for me she does not share,

Yet, I wear my heart on my sleave, which only leaves me exposed and bare.

 

Out of this is for the future my greatest concern,

That I will never find a cure for this burn,

And that I will never find a person who overpowers this love for me of yours that I yearn.

What if I do find another, but again, my love they reject?

I used to believe in true love for everyone, except,

As I grew older this notion seemed more and more suspect.

Stuck in this pyridine, any thing you ask of me at a drop of a hat I could,

Yet continuing on knowing you will never love me in the way I wish you would,

My greatest fear is I will never find someone to complete me the way I think you should.

I really like how it switches views as though someone else is speaking to another person.
