Untitled Rempel

by Tess Rempel

most people are scared of the things that should be feared
Sharks
The dark
Small spaces
Shootings in public places

but the things that should not be feared
are the ones that scare me
the most.

walking into rooms
changing into clothes
Finding things to eat
Falling asleep
Breathing

All are filled with fear;
Fear of judgement
Fear of failure
Fear of life
Fear of fear itself

All of those fears are the ones I can't ignore
All of my fears are so much different
Than yours.
