Im afraid
Im afraid of the world around me
Im afraid of my friends and peers
Im afraid of going outside
Im afraid of wut is yet to come
Im afraid to be alone
Im afraid of death
Im afraid of life
Im afraid

I will over come my fears
I will over come my fear of the world around me
I will over come my fear of my friends and peers
I will over come my fear of going outside
I will over come my fear of what is yet to come
I will over come my fear of being alone
I will over come my fear of death
I will over come my fear of life
I will over come my fear

You seem to have alot of fears.  But then again I have many of those same fears.  And I don't doubt that you will overcome your fears.  It's a very repetitive poem, I don't know if that's a good or bad thing but I guess it works.

Welcome to Passions.  Have tons of fun.  And good luck.

The future isn't now, that was yesterday.

This is such a soap box piece... the protesting, the screaming, it brings me a feeling of how you will survive. No matter the odds nothing will stop our will to be free of fear! Nice start.

ok well...after the first couple lines of the second stanza I realized it was the same as the first. So that was disappointing. I think you should take one or more of the things your afraid of and write a poem about that. Tell us why not just what.
