All the people the same, they remember my name and my usual drink. They remember the bucket behind the bar is mine it's mine and only mine.

Wayne Yah, terror is probably more the word. Got up a few times last night feeling like there would be an earthquake or that I would lose my mind in a nervous breakdown. (Never had one but I think I've been close.) I lost about three hours of sleep, being too afraid to go back to bed. It's all the stress from work. There's too much to learn, too much pressure.

Anything which comes to mind in answer simply falls under the singular category of the inevitable, ergo, not worth losing valuble sleep over.

Aaron as the sun sets on the horizen, the viel on your mind breaks free, releasing all the fear and pain bottled inside, and you slip drownding in your own thoughts, losing all perceptions of reality, pulled down by the undertow of fear unleashed. the nightmare that haunts you when your awake, the pain, the loss, the friends you forsake, and the family that you hate. you dwell on self gratification with no concern for thoes around you. the grand composition of your life colapses, your wall crumbles, people you thought would be there forever walk out. left cold ugly and alone. everyone fears something. do you? or are you no one at all? just a shadow. ahh.... but even a shdow fears something the very light that created it thretins to vanish it from existance. is that what you fear....yourself? after all you are the one who made you the way you are. 011111 ... ilovepatsajak the grave that you refuse to leave, the refuge that you've built to flee the places that you've come to fear the most is the place that you have come to fear the most. 011115 ...

I paced the house for a while, in the pitch black darkness for some reason, not tripping over anything but rather stepping over them with my eyes still shut.I knew where i was, and i knew my heart was beating so hard it may break through my chest shattering ribs and blood all over the walls. After the pacing was finished i went back to bed and trembled and shook with tears rolling down my face, afraid.

If it is dominant, we lose control of all other emotions, raising fear in others because of our own actions to escape or satisfy our fear.

Fear of God is considered healthy, while a fear of mice requires treatment. funny... maybe... 021231 ... ferret i fear long silences when i know there should be noise. and i also FEAR when ANY female says: "we need to talk" but then for some reason, we can't right now, and then i have to think about all the things i might have done that we might have to talk about.

Bits of wit and wisdom bound in loose lipped harnesses bore truths that tore perspectives to thirds. Those shreds, these thoughts, this attempt -- ceaseless barrage of sorting and shifting weightless memory. I've never been grounded. I've always felt this afraid of never knowing. I cannot deny the longing. I see your fingers caressing small gems, dazzling. I implore: Set your hand in saturated sand. A slight splash. Constricting every crevice. Now slowly pull. Each pore revealed. A scar healed as sugar lipped angels kiss time away. Slowly, now, slide your baby fine hand back into the sand. Feel your pulse carry the chill. Numbing the soul. And the vaccuum as you pull is the vast shore. These were my thoughts tonight. Kneeding, pushing, pulling taffy of the mind's sea. Eating gritty, dirty sand. Buried alive. And the truth slipped away. A stealthy sunset transformation. As I breath, purposeful and acute, in an attempt to regain consciousness, the cilia dance without thought. Not aware, no thought. Simplicity in necessity. When we allow ourselves to smell the swell of this grandiose ocean, for its fury, in its movement, we'll seek the one pearl. Stranded. That is my fear. 031215 ... little girl i fear what could be good. i fear i'm not ready. i fear i'm moving on. i fear change. but its all so exciting... 031220 ... c h r i s t i n a * i love to love you but the fear is still within me. i love to have your lips apon my neck gently kissing my tenderness. 040206 ...

Lonegoddess Fear speaks to me in whispers in the dark. It makes aches seem life-threatening and uncertainty seem unbearable. Fear is the air conditioner in winter I dream about in July. A blessing if used as it should be. Fear motivates me to find work to pay bills; it prompts me to seek medical attention sometimes. Fear makes me call to my lover not to leave. Fear is what makes you seek this out.

Which would never happen because i was all of me with you. I wasn't playing the part, I was genuine, and i didn't hold back. I feared that one morning you'd wake up and tell me the most horrible things immaginable about myself. You'd tell me all my insecurities were true, that i'm ugly and fat and a bad lay. That you were lying with every compliment, that you were completely ingenuine. Now i fear you never came. I fear I'm broken. 070808 ... Light I'm afraid to ask. I'm afraid of getting it wrong. Love's such a risky business, and being alone is awful in itself. double_edged_sword. cuts both ways. love is up, the sky's the limit, sore like free birds, awed by landscapes, and down, crashing, melting into the molten rock until you cool and freeze. loneliness is a bleak monotony, a dead heart line on the ECG. bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. 080709 ... twiz last night i could swear i was dying. i was half asleep and i couldn't breathe, and i couldn't move. i tried reaching out, grasping my girlfriends arm wanting her to wake up and save me. then it went away. then it happened again, replicated perfectly. was it a dream? i remember slowmotion, grabbing her arm so tightly it would have hurt, it would have woken her up. what the fuck is wrong with me, i want to die. this is just too weird. 080709 ... olive what if you were afraid of being afraid? what would happen then? 081016 ... olive what if you were afraid of being afraid? what would happen then? 081016 ...

Having let these fears overwhelm me during the last year or so, I was driven to contemplate suicide. I even went so far as to pick out a spot on a bridge from which to jump. However, due to rampant political correctness in society, I am forbidden from expressing these fears to 99.999% of the people I interact with. To do so would be to commit social suicide, and would make me look fucking crazy. However, I now consider such a judgment — from people who are victims of social conditioning — to be a compliment. 160220 ... Risen Those fears are entirely justified.
