Poetry: Fear

by Barry Mccormick

Created on: July 27, 2009   Last Updated: July 29, 2009

I'm afraid to not have my own children to loose out on the joy they bring

Afraid I will never expierience the bond between a father and his child

I'm afraid of growing old, if it means forgetting the wonders I have seen

Afraid that as I age I will put strain on my family

I'm afraid to have a daughter, if I can't walk her down the aisle

Afraid she will forget me as she has her own family

I'm afraid of not finding love, that I will find no-one who completes me

Afraid that I've missed the chance, of being complete

I'm afraid to live, if it is without purpose

Afraid my life, will be meaningless

I'm afraid of walking down life's road, if it is to be without you

Afraid to leave your side, only to return and you're not there

I'm afraid that if I do not act, that I may loose you forever

Afraid that if I'm too forceful, it will put you under too much pressure

I'm afraid to let my feelings out, because I don't want to be left vulnerable

Afraid to keep my feelings silent Incase it's what you need to hear

I'm afraid to take your hand incase you pull it away

Afraid my love will not suffice or be what you hoped and planned

Ultimately I'm afraid to say "I love you" Incase it is not returned

Afraid to live a life alone

With no-one to share in my love
