Death
We fear it
More than some realize

Life
I fear it
More than death, I’ve realized

Every fear is in relation to death
From the monsters under your bed
to the spiders that hide in the darkness,

I’ve loved and I’ve lost
And I’ve hurt, hurt so badly
I thought I wouldn’t survive
Yet I did. That’s my only fear. To survive.
