Fear Poem by Jerik Middleton

Fears are things that you can’t control,
As they all but define everyone.
Most fears are not easily conquered,
And won’t be when all is said and done.

What I fear most out of the ones I have,
It’s simple really, being alone.
Being without the one I lost most,
With true love never being known.

It’s hard to imagine a long life,
Not having someone to have and to hold.
We all need that one person for us,
To be by our sides as we grow old.

My life felt empty for quite some time,
It felt as if my worst fear would come true.
Lonely, depressed and in denial,
Until the day that I met you.

I felt like I could breathe again that day,
As fear released its grip on my heart.
I hope to never live in fear again,
Nothing will ever keep us apart.
