Fears

What I fear....
The fears I have is a fear unheard and yet indescribable
For the fears that I fear hurts me deeper than being lied to
You see the fears I have is in categories of three
You have hurt, death, and then there's reality

For the fear of hurt has been on my back for many years
The pain that I sometimes feel doesn't exactly overcome my fears
I've been hurt basically my whole life
But just being me it caused terrible sacrifice

And the fear of death
Oh! How greatly I fear that
Not being able to figure out how people are going to remember you
Are they going to remember you as that girl who was sad and blue

For the fears that I fear will not quickly go away
Unless I continued to ignore them overcome them day by day
But the utmost fear that I have is life itself
Dealing with the lost of other's and standing alone by yourself

For that fear is reality:
You see little kids getting shot
And yet you ask yourself god why doesn't it all just stop
If only you had the upper strength and authority
To change everything including the hell of reality
