Fear

Fear.

"Fear is a disease. It slowly takes over your life, it becomes all what you think about. It starts out small, almost unnoticeable, then it grows, it grows like a monster inside you, it takes over your mind, your heart and your body. It brutally suffocates you. Fear of failure, fear of loneliness, fear of loss or fear of the dark. It doesn't matter fear of what because it's still fear. Fear shrouds me. My biggest fear was the dark, I was eight when I decided to conquer it, I turned off all the lights in my house and walked around in pure darkness, I liked it, it was okay and I thought that I've conquered it, but then I grew up, and I realized that I did not and I never will, and for a reason that remains hidden, I still fear darkness, but there's a far greater fear in me right now, fear of death; a fear than can never and will never be conquered."
