Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself

I heard this saying
over and over
It rings in my mind repeating
over and over
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
but fear itself
but fear itself

Then why am I afraid?
over and over
I ask myself
over and over
Why do I cry?
over and over
These tears
over and over
Slide down my face
over and over
Fall hard on your shirt
over and over
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
but fear itself
but fear itself

I must repeat these words
over and over
Close my eyes
over and over
Why can't I control my emotions
over and over
This overflows to the point where I cling
over and over
To anything that will hold me up
over and over
I apologize for myself and my words
over and over
The frustration becomes hurt
over and over
But you're still here
Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
but fear itself
but fear itself

What is my fear you ask
....Alone......to be utterly Alone.....
