On the Nature of Fear

are you afraid to try to pretend to be human?

why?

what scares you so?

are you afraid to be imperfect?

are you afraid to face a mirror and look into your own eyes?

what do you see there?

do you see the light that everyone has,
or are you lost in your own darkness?

you can find yourself,
even amidst the darkness.

it's never too dark to switch on your own light.

some people mmmmmm some people I think would rather live their lives as a reflected vision...being only what they would have you see...not what they truly are...maybe because what they are frightens them...
