I'm Afraid

I'm afraid — afraid of the life that I'm living, but also of the one that I can't see before me. I’m afraid that I'm useless and worthless, that I dream nothing, do nothing. I don't know if I'm strong enough to live the life I see in my head, which involves letting my guard down and striving for something that may not even happen. I thought I knew where I wanted my life to go, but the truth is, I have no idea. I'm afraid to notbe the person everyone thought I was, the person I thought I was. I'm afraid to be someone else, even if I don't want to be who I am now.
