Fear. It walks behind me constantly. I see it's shadow around every corner. I feel it's cold breath on my neck. Fear about my life. Fear about my future. Fear for my family. Fear of my family. Fear for my friends. Fear of my friends. Fear for my children. Fear about myself. Fear for myself.


Fear. It's always there. It's become a chain that I neither keep on myself nor try to break free from. And even when I try to be brave and break free of it, somehow I always end up back at the start with that same old chain around my neck.

With fear, comes hate. You begin to hate yourself for being afraid. You begin to hate what you are afraid of. You begin to hate everything and rot from the inside out. And then, soon enough, you'll be nothing but a shell of the person you once were.


Is that what I've become? I'm not sure I can still see the real me anymore. Some days I'm not even sure if I'm still alive... Some days, I wish this would all stop. Just let me rest in peace.

This may sound dumb, but you might take a hand-to-hand or firearm self defense course, with the thought that being better equipped to deal with danger may make you less susceptible to fear.
