I'm afraid of so many things.
I'm afraid that I will never make
my dreams a reality
because my dreams are so far of reach
that my lack of potential drowns me
from ever breaking the surface
of my aspirations.
I'm afraid that my rationality
will give into corruption
and I will turn into someone
that even my mirror wouldn't be able
to recognize.
I'm afraid of loving
someone who calls me his soulmate
and realizing he may not be mine
but I'm too delusional
to tell apart love from gratitude.
I'm most afraid
of you walking into my life again
and swallowing all of these fears
along with me whole
until I realize that while you were
everything I've ever wanted
I lost so much of myself in you
that when you leave again
my fears will no longer be just fears
but instead
take the form of my existence.
