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
