You don’t know how scared I am
You think that you can count to ten
See what I have written in pen
But you don’t know how scared I am

You think you know how hard my hands shake
Written on these pages are my mistakes
You don’t know how scared I am

You think you know how hard it is to cry
And for you these years are passing by
And you don’t know how scared I am

You see my eyes and remember when
I always thought you were my friend
You don’t know how scared I am

I get the feeling that something is quite wrong, dear Lilee. You conveyed your fear very powerfully in this well written piece.

If this is about you, take a deep breath and love yourself, trusting that the outcome will be for your highest good.

Love,
Margherita

Thank you for your truly helpful and kind words, Margherita

It is about me, and how scared I am of the future and the unknown.

I would have emailed this to you, Lilee, but you don't have the anonymous link to your email address available to us.  Jerry (JerryPat) has written you a poem (called Life's Road).  I have thrown in my tuppence ha'penny worth of well-meaning (though perhaps it won't help) advice to you in my reply to his poem.  I am sure it will make you happy to read his poem, knowing that somebody cares enough to try to help.
