The Fear

http://www.mandfhealth.co.uk/a-minister-for-loneliness/

The fear of not being good enough

The thought of you waking up one day

and thinking I'm

too little

too small

too nothing

The fear of comparison

of you looking at me and wishing

I laughed

I dressed

or I loved

the way she did.

The fear that I am enough

And I will never know it

and I will live in unwarranted,

but ever- present

fear.
