I am afraid

I am afraid,

Of myself,

What I can do,

Where I will go,

What lays ahead,

The things that I don’t yet see,

 

I am scared,

Of what I am becoming,

Where I am going,

Why I am doing, being, moving,

 

I am terrified,

Of what I will find,

When I delve within,

The depths of myself,

The crevices, the darkness,

The bottom of the sea that I hold in my being,

 

I’m afraid of my limits,

The point where I can go no more,

When my weakness steps out into the world,

Anyone can look,

Judge,

 

Do I want,

To know the extent of my abilities?

To know the full potential I have?

To discover my place,

Of greatest extent?

 

Is there such a place,

Burdening… me,

Or does this lie just sit,

In a worried corner of my mind?

 

There is no finish line,

Final words the the tale,

End,

 

There is just,

My fears,

The limits I place upon myself,

And me,

No beginning, no end,

Just me
