Title: My Own Fears
Author: Stone

Poem: As the years go by and my mind does what it wants
I collect scars and tears and pain and fears
I leave behind wreckage and confused upset love
I do not want to hurt anyone again
but that means being alone until the end

The pain of that realization is almost too much to bear
But is it worth the pain I will surely inflict on another
Being alone is comforting and safe
Being alone is uncomfortable and terrifying and sad

As I watch others get on with their lives I just try to
Be happy with a minimal amount of stress
But is it living or just hanging on
...
