Words My Anxiety Won't Allow Me to Speak

The Burden of Fear

What if I told you...

                     that maybe

I'm afraid too?

           What if we both learned

     that we're not alone

in facing our fears?

                Maybe I can carry the burden

of yours...

      and you carry the burden of mine...

and perhaps, together, we can condemn our fears

                    to the deepest, well hidden

parts of hell where they can no longer

          taunt us with what is unknown.
