Fears

I have fears

Like actual fears

Fears regarding the sound of my own voice

Fears of allowing myself to be loved by someone

Fears of failure

Fears of success

Fears of falling down

Why fear?

Because, fear

Because of fear, I have fear

Fear is safe

Fear is comfortable

Fear is familiar

But I'm Christian, right?

Therefore I shouldn't be afraid

But, I am

I am afraid

I have fears

Several of them

Many of them known

But many of them remain unknown

Each and every day I learn

I strive to be better

I strive to be a little less fearful than the last

Is it working?

Who knows

But what I do know is that I have fears

But fears do not have me
