All of the Unknown

August 21, 2014

Fear is what keeps me up at night
All the fear of the unknown
The what-ifs rolling in one after the other
I feel like I'm ready to crumble

So many restless nights
As various scenes play out in my dreams
None of which are happy endings
How long can I not sleep?

Most of the dreams end the same
I'm left stranded and alone
Or worse yet turned out on the streets
Always in a place that I do not know

Is this what most people call stress
Or have I reached a new level of some kind
Is this what happens out in life
Where there's always panic

I think if I had some comfort I'd be fine
If I could have you here by my side
Maybe my heart would beat normal once again
Or even just a few good laughs to distract a while

Maybe I'm afraid that you'll be gone when I return
Maybe that's why I'm so nervous to be here
All of these maybe's but no answers
I guess I'm just afraid of the unknown
