I meant to change the title to "Fear and Confidence" but I forgot.
* * *
Fear...
What will tomorrow hold?
Am I brave enough to face it alone?
I can't do it on my own,
but I know I can't postpone.
My brain is trapped within itself,
all the good thoughts on a high-up shelf.
*
Confidence...
It's hard to feel,
but I know it's real.
I don't want to resist
whatever they can assist.
I don't want to attend
but I'll be better in the end.

I was inspired to write this by the very intense emotions I am having about seeing a new doctor. The feelings are overwhelming and I needed to vent so I did so in the only way I know how to.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
