The Unknown

I fear the unknown

of what lies ahead.

There is no way to prepare

for the horrors and the dread.

 

I fear oblivion

of being completely forgotten.

Living without a purpose,

and dying completely rotten.

 

I fear expectations

of what and who I should be.

The unreachable standards,

looming over me.

 

I fear decisions

of everyday life.

The potential to start a disaster,

in my hands, like a knife.

 

I fear disease

of my family and I.

I have seen the possibilities,

and they’re extremely high.

 

Reality is inescapable

and the lives we’ve lead.

All the dreams inside our heads

are soon to be but dead.

 

I fear the unknown

of what lies ahead.

There is no way to prepare

for the horrors and the dread.
