We fear the unknown because not being in control of our futures makes us fear.
We fear death even though it is one of the only things "us" as humans have in common, but it is permanent for some, so it's hard to swallow.
We fear heartache, even though the end result makes for a better song lyric, or maybe a better relationship because you have to test the waters before you jump in.
Fear lingers outside hospitals rooms and jumps outside of windows, while skipping along alley ways and lurking inside office doors.
It has many names with many DNA's and never gets invited to a party, it sometimes saves peoples hearts while securing regrets in others but it can never seize first without the carriers consent.
It is on our TV screens, radios, and in mailboxes driving around us like a rush hour on a friday.
I wish fear and I had never met and I wish it would stop harassing my heart.
