Fear

by: EJ

What do you fear the most,

We all fear something,

But why do we let it control us,

We only live life once,

But whats the point of living,

If you've locked yourself in a closet,

Because you're so afraid of the world,

I believe fear is simply something we imagine,

It is our own closed-mindedness,

That refuses to reach out to new boundaries,

Fear is simply the unknown and unfamiliar,

That is truely what people are afraid of,

If people live only out of fear,

Then what are they actually accomplishing,

They need to realize that the only thing to fear is fear itself,

Is fear itself an imaginary thing,

Its so ironic,

How people are so filled with fear,

They they go through life,

Running from something that isn't really after them,

Come on people get some courage,

Live life for what it really is,

A one-time opportunity for greatness,

Be daring and be bold,

Stop fearing the unknown and try something new.

Lost

by: EJ

How many times have I been lost before,

Have I ever really been found,

I don't think so,

I'm excellent at fooling others,

But I'm even better at fooling myself,

I don't understand how I make it through everyday,

I don't belong to anything,

Not a group or a person,

Not this school or this life,

None of it has meaning,

But yet I still stumble along the same path,

Even if I changed paths,

I'd still be lost,

Its been so long since I've felt safe and content,

I've been searching for so long,

To find that place again,

Perhaps it was destroyed or is now invisible,

I'm tired of being scared and alone,

Will I be stuck on this deserted island for eternity,

Perhaps I'll just go crazy one day,

And walk off into the tides of the uncharted seas,

And be washed away into it's deepest crevices,

Then I'll truely never be found,

Maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing,

Maybe I should just find some amazing grace.
