My Greatest Fear Is Loss Of Control
When I'm Up A Height I Fear The Fall
John Cale Says Fear Is A Man's Best Friend
Will I Think That When I Meet My End?

Some Dark Creature, A Very Shark Knife
Hides In The Shadows To Take My Life
On A Sinking Ship, Frozen Sea
These Are Some Things That Cause Fear In Me
๐ช
To See My Loved Ones Being Threatened
That Would Hurt Me If I Can Help Them
To Be Trapped In A Cave, Underground
Running Out Of Air, Not To Be Found
๐ช
These Are The Things That Scare Me So Much
But I Will Face Them, I Have The Touch

Unofficial Challenge: What would you do if you were rich?
I love the kind of work I get to do in my career, but as I job search and browse apartments again due to another understaffed and unsustainable work environment that I did not intend to get into, my daydreams of better days consistently lean into the same question: What would I do if I didn't have to worry about my basic needs being met?

Nicely done, Mike.
A great mish mash of fear to be conquered. Well done.
I love your ending so much! You're so courageous! Loved your poem!
Threats to those we love..., the rest can be handled & faced, but threats to them I cannot prevent cause my brain & heart to short-circuit.
