Afraid to lose myself

I'm so scared of the future,

And what it might hold.

I'm scared to be all alone,

Left in the cold.

 

Afraid to lose myself.

Fear is all around,

Making me empty.

I cannot stand my ground.

Your words make a very clearly addressed parcel.. that's what worry does to a person. Whether your poem is fact or fiction, the emotions are so real.

If true, i suggest you watch the clouds, see how they alter often seconds by seconds; creating shapes according to how you observe or what you imagine them to be. And more often or not, untouchable.. Tis how reality is. Perhaps. :)

Thanks for the suggestion! I suppose there might be some truth behind those lines :)

Of course there are!!! Just think of it, think of past hiccups in your life, were they as bad as you thought they might be.. or did you cover thought with moss and dirt and think worse of it all?

Go on, go look at the clouds... dare you

A great poem, definitely one I can relate to. Anxiety has never been kind to me. I loved the word choice and the rhyme scheme was perfect! It flowed very well!

I can relate to this poem perfectly. It is a terrible feeling to fear what may happen in the future, and the title of this piece describes that feeling perfectly. Whenever I have anxiety, I always remember something my dad said: "If I thought that worrying could help the situation, I'd do it." Often times when we fear the future, we are just preventing our happiness in the present. Sometimes, we just need to relax and enjoy the Now, and let life happen. Thanks for sharing this piece.
