Fear

It hits you like a spear

Borrowing deep, deep, deep

People act like they understand 

But there's no way they could ever explain what you are feeling

Whether you're scared of the dark or your friend is missing 

We all feel fear

Just in different ways

There are clowns and monsters under your bed, but there's also your uncle dying or your upcoming surgery 

People fear the future, the past, and the present

You could be scared about what's coming next 

You could be scared about what is happening right now

You could get scared by a memory of what happened then

Fear is everywhere

You can't stop it

But you can embrace it. 

Like  when you are in an alley and a man is following you

Fear tells you to be alert

Or when a fire alarm goes off

Fear tells you to get out 

There can't be calm without fear

During this time I was very scared, writing this made me happy because I realized fear is just your body protecting you.
