There is a monster in my closet…. oh wait no there is not. It is just my fears that I keep hidden. I do not want anyone to know how many fears I have deep inside. Sometimes they creep out and I can’t contain them. It’s the times that I’m quiet and I don’t make a sound…or wrap my arms around my legs and rock back and forth…or if it is really bad I sit in the shower with the hot water dripping over me as I cry on the floor. These are the times that my fears come to light. These are the times that I hide from sight. When I’m all alone the like to come back to haunt my dreams, my fantasies, my life. I don’t know what to do about these fears that I have. So I just smile and pretend that everything is fine, but on the inside I’m crumbling struggling to hold on. When I’m in my own little world I can’t hear your concern. All I know is the fear that controls me. I do not want to be crippled by these fears. I can’t show weakness. Nobody can know. Everyone thinks that I am so strong so I can’t make it known… These fears that I have they are mine and mine alone!
