What do you do when fear consumes you?
Do you tuck tail and run?
Or do you stand your ground and put up a fight?
What do you do when the one person you trusted most turns on you with an angry fist?
Do you cower and take the blow?
Or do you try to take your anger and do the same?
These are questions I have been asking myself the past few days,
When has it become too much?
When your home is no longer the place you feel safe.
When will enough be enough?
When will you have been taken too far and driven over the edge of reason?
When your life is suddenly consumed with fear that you may not see tomorrow’s light.
The emptiness you had once felt inside suddenly not so important,
But in the place of the emptiness the feeling of wanting to survive and live another day.
The feeling that maybe just maybe you meant something to someone,
That you have changed a life in some way, shape, or form.
How do you put into words the way it feels to be so afraid you can’t sleep?
How do you push aside your fear so you can go on the next day?
Life seems so important now, like suddenly it has a meaning.
How do you forgive and go on with your life like nothing happened?
How do you forget the fear that you hold in your heart that one day you may feel it again?
I’ve always thought life was too short to live with regrets.
Now that I can how do I see past this fear of falling again?
