“Suspect each moment, for it is a thief, tiptoeing away with more than it brings” John Updike
Nightmares of Time
Do I have anxieties?
What am I afraid of?
What is my worst fear?
What do I worry about?
Who am I scared of?
Jumping
Into the abyss
Falling, flailing
Yet never reaching
The ground
Suspended in
Mid air
Not flying
Not falling
Running out of time
Sprinting
Leaping
Close enough
Feeling it
Almost touching
Tasting it
Yet never reaching
I want it so much
Running out of time
My heart pounding
Cold sweat
Covering all of me
In my mind the same theme hounding
Of being late
My greatest worry seems to be
Running out of time
Time from what?
My life

A great poem about how fear takes hold at times. There are ways to beat it, but facing your fears is not always easy.
