Irrational Fear

I have a fear of dehydration, 

So I moved to the desert.

I have a fear of making mistakes,

So I’m mispeling thse wrds.

I have a fear of silence,

So I sit in stillness.

I have a fear of the darkness,

So I walked into my shadows.

I have a fear of the unknown,

So I gave up control.

I have a fear of grieving,

So I do it loudly and boldly.

I have a fear of acceptance,

So I opened my heart.

I have a fear of conflict,

So I started speaking my truth.

I have a fear of exposure,

So I wrote this poem.
