Fear of Possibility By aldo kraas, www.PoetryPoem.com/poet11586 Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
I tend to claim that I am afraid of thefuture
Of attending acollege that I have not yet applied to
Possibly away from family and friends
Of beginning a career to define me in society
And in turn trap me within a box assigned to me
Of growing old with a man
That I likely do not know now but will in thefuture
Of possibly having a child or children even
Having to be responsible for them
When I am not even responsible even for myself
When in reality
What I have come to realize
Is that I am afraid of the possibility
I might not come to experience all these things
I might not come to live my life to its fullest
I might become just another one of the people
When I know that is not what I want
I want to live my life specific to me
I want to experience all of these things
I want to live my life to its fullest
But I do not want to become another one of the people
So I sit here writing this in hopes
That I might find the courage
To not become another one of the people
