Fear

by Kristina Harris - Aries

An eternal circle of bleak hope
encompasses my mind and all that is me..
as I lounge in the driver's seat.
Memories scatter like dust on a 
dashboard of time..
It's cloudy.
I cannot see.
I cannot feel what it's like to be me
anymore.
But, life will wisk me away everyday, 
I know.
To dance in places where feet have not
yet set their footprints in the mud.
And I'll cry puddles of longing,
hopelessness and fear.
The fear..
of being alone,
of dying alone,
never tasting wine upon the lips
of your lover,
never dancing in a spotlight
with your arms wrapped around
each other in a tangled mess..
The fear..
of ignorance,
Bliss in ignorance,
Being satisfied with a simple
yes, no, or you needn't know.
Never asking questions
because of lazy human tendancies..
Living with fear,
dying with fear,
am I...
behind the wheel
inside a mind I know not of.
