My Biggest Fears
February 18, 2016
My biggest fear is not death nor planes
nor dogs nor the dark
You see my biggest fear is unlike others
My biggest fear is to live a boring life
With nothing to look back to
Or worth telling
No memories big enough to remember once I’m old
And I peer pressure myself to do things
But yet another fear stops me
The fear of something going terribly wrong
This is my other fear
That seems to outweigh the other one
This cycle goes around and around
Till one day i decide to live
And let go of those fears
For they are holding me back

I just started to realize that I've never really done anything crazy or worth remember and it scares me to have a boring life so i want to try new things but im afraid of disappointing my family or doing something that could completely ruin me. Basically i have a lot of fears and i hope that some people can understand and relate to it and find courage to let go of fears that hold them back.
