Fears

people are endlessly saying they are afraid of stuff.
Afraid of clowns, toads, the boogie man, my sister.
but the thing about fear is that the way we percieve it is wrong.

you are not actually scared of sharks.
you are scared of what the shark might possibly do to you

you are not afraid of falling off a cliff,
if any of you have read twilight, you would know that it could actually be an exhilarating experience.
No, you are afraid of what might happen when you get to the bottom of the cliff.

you are not afraid of telling the truth,
you are afraid of what may result in revealing your true feelings

you are not afraid of falling in love,
you are afraid of what happens when you fall out of it
