Fearful

Fear could be a monster under your bed.

A scary movie stuck in your head.

Fear could be trying something new.

The one opportunity that's only up to you.

Fear could be no money in your account.

Bills to pay mouths to feed but no dollar amount.

Fear could be not wanting to be alone.

Getting lost, finding space, looking for your home.

Fear could be a dark corner, a person a place.

Any situation you don't want to face.

Fear could be not wanting to let go.

Watch them grow, watch them leave, until your left alone.

Fear could be so many things, feel so many ways.

Respect don't judge. 

Someone else's fear might be yours one day.
