My thoughts are filled with both rational and irrational fears constantly playing on a loop
Irrational fears appear late at night
They're the fears of unknowns that linger in the dark abyss of my mind
Fears of potentials run rampant leaving my anxiety unchecked
Fears of the past repeating keep me awake at night
But it's the rational fears that leave me scared to fall asleep
Fears that my skin will be someone's justification to kill me
That it will be their justification to deny me yet another opportunity
That it will be the reason I post yet another hashtag
That it will be the reason I become another hashtag
