Living Life in Fear

Living life in fear, so many do it and yet so many do not fully understand the meaning. Some fear what might happen if they give their heart again. For others, it is just the fear of getting out of bed in the morning because they have no idea what may lie ahead of them as their feet hit that cold, hard floor. Then for some, it is just the fear of life. The fear of everything that has come before, what is happening, and what is coming. The fact that they must live their lives completely for other people, not a moment for themselves, nothing ever being asked about what it is they might want. Nothing in place except for the lives of everyone around them, sitting quietly in a dark room waiting for the next command, the altercation that is waiting around the bend, sitting hoping that they forget about them-forget that they exist just even for a moment. Letting them have a minute of a life that could be theirs, even if it is really just a fantasy. Alone in the room realizing that even the life ahead is what is going to be totally of what someone else can do, and lived through the eyes of another, even though this life is different, even though in a odd, sometimes lonely way, they will loved in this way. Living as they do, living in fear of your own life, of your own daily tasks, is a hard, bumpy road to live down. Sometimes it is concealed in a lovely package, none ever knowing what truly lies beneath the surface. Those who live in fear hide from the world outside of themselves, for it is too hard for them to truly see what it is that they cannot be or ever have. For in the real world, rescues are only on DVD’s.
