Deepest Fear
My deepest fear is not a room filled with spiders
My deepest fear is not being trapped in a box
My deepest fear is not what lurks in the night
My deepest fear is not humiliating myself during a speech
My deepest fear is not the men catcalling on the street
My deepest fear is not being dragged by the ocean tides
My deepest fear is not failing everyone I have ever loved
My deepest fear is...
My deepest fear is allowing the fear-filled thoughts control me
overcome me, take over my existence, become who I am.
My deepest fear is going back to the scared girl I once was.
Shaking and trembling at the sight of my fears.
Now, my deepest fear defeats fear itself.
