Let's Try This
I am scared.
I am scared of losing myself.
I am scared of becoming what I swore never to be.
I am afraid of starting to swear badly again.
I am afraid that I've lost God.
I am afraid of becoming mediocre.
I am frightened that people won't like me as much if I let them see who I am.
I am frightened that I'll end up completely alone because I refuse to give way.
Yet I am frightened of settling, of giving in.
I am terrified of becoming like them.
I am terrified of losing my dreams.
I am terrified of starting again at the beginning....
I am fearful of losing them.
I am fearful of being forgotten.
I am fearful of everything in my world because it's not one I'm used to.
I hate to admit it, because fear is something I try to not identify with (Except spiders).....but it is becoming overwhelming.
Maybe today has just been a bad day.
Or maybe I really AM losing myself in a world I have no clue how to handle.
What I need.....is you, Lord.....what I can't find.....ironically, is one and the same.
