Fear😨
Hello, Darkness… my old friend. Yeah—come closer. It’s been a while since we had one of these late-night, heart-on-the-table, truth-with-no-filter conversations. You always show up uninvited, sliding through the cracks of my confidence like smoke that knows the shape of my lungs. You sit at the foot of my bed whispering, “You’re not enough… you’ve never been enough.” And I pretend not to listen. But you know I do. You’ve always known. Fear... you wear my voice like a stolen jacket. You walk around in my thoughts, leaving muddy footprints on every dream I tried to keep clean. You say you’re protecting me... “Stay low, stay quiet, stay safe.” But safety feels a lot like a cage when the door is always locked from the inside. You know what’s crazy? I mistook you for a friend. A sharp-tongued guardian angel keeping me from cliffs I was too scared to climb. But now I see it... You weren’t shielding me from falling, you were stopping me from flyin...
