fears control us.

I am scared of the ocean. and of fish. I am scared of spiders. I am scared of being alone. I am scared of raising my hand. and talking in class. I'm scared of not being good enough. I'm scared of college. and my ACT score. I'm scared of loosing someone close to me. I'm scared of looking stupid. I'm scared of being lied to. I'm scared of being wrong. I'm scared of drive thru's. and getting fat from going to them anyways. I'm scared of Mexicans and whether you admit it or not, you are too. I'm scared of being kidnapped. I am scared of dying. and I am scared of forever. 

fears control us. you don't go outside alone after 9:00. you check under your bed every night. you look at your phone when you walk by a group of people you don't want to acknowledge. you look at the floor so you aren't called on. you scream for your dad when you see a spider. you look the other way when you see something that makes you uncomfortable. you won't sleep in your bed for weeks after you find a spider in your room. you won't face them or maybe it's because you can't. 

I'm scared people will see through the mask I put on. I'm scared of heights. I'm scared of never getting married. I'm scared of what others think. and I know I shouldn't be but I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared of people judging me. 

fears control us. 

fears control us. 

the more you avoid it the scarier it gets.
