My New Thunder

Nothing else is scarier

A storm of lightning
Accompanied by thunder
Scared, startled
My covers I go under

Alone, swallowed by dark
Occasional flashes of light
This scene once
Filled me with fright

Fear is still present
But it's no longer the same
This fear is different
Impossible to tame

The only thing I fear
I cannot avoid
So many doubts come from it
Confidence easily destroyed

Its not alarming to some
But I fear life
I look ahead and see nothing
But struggle and strife

Full of change
Never knowing what is real
A vast rainbow of emotions
Yet I never know just how to feel

I can't focus on this fear
It will accomplish nothing
Nervousness and
Worry is all that will bring

I can either act now
And conquer my fears
Or let them control me
And regret it for the rest of my years

My only real choice is
To meet life head on
Time to face the world, the storm
Is over, tomorrow ushers in a new dawn
