 The cold sweat , I feel it on my forehead, I can smell it, it is fear, fear is what is, fear of what, fear of dyeing, no fear of living, fear of the truth, the unspeakable truth, fear of reality, the reality most people never have the courage to face, the truth we will never hear, the truth we will never tell, fore the fear is to great, fear of the realness of it all, to live without fear is to be truly alive, yet one can not live without it…..so here we sit in fear, fear that one might describe as fitting in, doing what is expect of you, the fear of not being normal, as if there is such a thing, who says what is and isn’t normal? This is the question I pose to you today, we live our lives the way we think will but be most acceptable way in which ever situation we are in, for some of us being different is the norm that is our way of fitting in, so to speak, an attempt to create a different reality, a different truth, one that is might be more socially or even morally and in some instances, religiously acceptable….. due to fear, but think whom do we really fear… I say it is ourselves
