what used to bring fear to me:
the dark, monsters under the
bed and dogs.
it took a long time to get over
heights, highway driving
and trying new things.
but I still fear spending my life alone.
- Written for dVerse Poetics Tuesday: What Are You Afraid Of?
I like how you listed down your fears, from childhood, to your adulthood. And spending one's life alone is a real fear that all of us face. A lovely sevenling Arcadia.
ReplyDeleteOh, great last line.
ReplyDeleteLove how delicate and tender this is ... beautifully put.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think our dark monsters simply change as we get older. The last line is very effective...a little jab to the heart.
ReplyDeleteYes, me too.
ReplyDeleteI think that last fear is one we all share.
ReplyDeleteoh. the honesty is admirable. fears are beautifully revealed. :)
ReplyDeleteAlone seems to be a fear for a lot of us... May we all have many friends and happy hearts while we grace this earth...bkm
ReplyDeleteGreat progression. There are those fears that we outgrow, but some that stay with us forever
ReplyDeleteGreat Sevenling, Arcadia. I like your progression from childhood fears to present. I think a lot of people fear being alone.
ReplyDeleteAww... fear no more on spending life alone, you never really are. :)
ReplyDeleteFears past, recent, and future. Well thought out and laid out. Frightfully good!
ReplyDeleteI am afraid of them all, too, but especially of heights. The other day, I climbed a set of stone steps that led to the top of a tall hill. I was swooning when I got to the middle and was afraid I would just topple backwards. I was panicky by the time I reached the top.
