The Fearful Actor
January 10, 2015
How do I express my inner turmoil?
I'm lonely
I'm scared
I'm confused
I'm lost
I bear the scars of a mental and spiritual battle
I'm scared to talk
I'm scared to express myself
I'm scared no one will listen to me
I'm scared that no one will care
I'm scared that I'm not special
I'm scared that I'm not important to anyone
I'm scared to show who I really am
I'm scared that I don't know who I am
Everyone sees me as someone confident
But that is my mask
That is my character
I am an actor
I hide my fears well
But I still feel fear

Yeah, I have some dark and disturbing thoughts. That kind of happens when you spend most of the time being alone with only your thoughts for company.
