These thoughts of death consume me,
to the point I can't think straight,
what does my future have in store,
what will be my fate
I don't know what I fear the most,
but these thoughts I can't control,
I try so hard to fight it,
but it destroys my heart and soul
No one has the answer,
for some faith gets them through,
for me I'm trapped inside with fear,
I wish I knew just what to do
I try so hard to put it out of my head,
just think of happiness instead,
but out of nowhere they come again,
I never know where or when
I know I should enjoy my life,
not dwell on whats to come,
for I know I can't control it,
but to this fear I have succumb
I pray one day I will find peace,
that my fear will go away,
sometimes it helps to ease my mind,
with reassuring words that others say
So that's my story,
sad but true,
for those not afraid,
I truly envy you!

profoundly written....
I do pray that you will one day conqueor your fear. I have complete faith that you will. It won't come overnight, but trust that it will come, and you'll feel a freedom that can't be held captive. Continue to lean on the unconditional love that your family has for you whenever you feel weakened. It's faith that will carry you through.
