A/N: Emulation: 82 Reasons Not to Get out of Bed by Denise Duhamel at el; "I fear..."
I fear losing my love after spending so much time investing in him.
I fear losing my mind to myself,
Letting my illness consume me till I am skin, bones and a sick brain,
How can anyone want to hold that?
Nobody wants to hold an empty body.
I fear that one day I'll speak up for what's right and cost a life.
I just want to stand up for those who can't,
I don't want to hurt anyone.
I fear that my loneliness will consume me,
Sleeping alone is very difficult when you're consumed.
I fear the mirror is telling the truth.
The mirror sees what I really am.
The mirror reminds me of my flaws that I've allowed to happen to me.
I fear the IVs that they'll have to stick in me when I've gone off my rocker again.
I fear my own brain,
I'm afraid of what it makes me think and see
I fear my illness
Why can't I live a normal life and not think twice about things that my brain makes me worry about?
Why can't I just go to bed at night blissfully instead oh have relenting anxious thought
Why can't I be normal and live unafraid?
