Based on "I cannot explain my fear"
Fear
of cartoon blood. I saw an episode of the Simpsons with my dad when I was 10
there were killer dolphins, the orange people got satirically mauled and
squirted red. Fear of dolphins. Fear of shots. My parents had the doctor come
to our house at night and administer a shot to me in my sleep when I was 4
because I wouldn't stop screaming. He was friends with them and it was a third
world country so it was legal. I had to get a tetanus shot a week ago, I began
silently weeping so the nurse gave me a juice box and animal crackers. Then she
made me lay down. Fear of going bald. Fear of being too cold to handle. Fear of
hurting people feelings. Fear of being forgotten, because I am as unimportant
as everyone else. Fear of hating my career. Fear of being no good at doing what
I love. Fear of never knowing I am not good at it. Fear of the future. I think
in the now. Fear of breaking other peoples belongings. Fear of appearing ditzy.
I love pop culture. I know when Jennifer Aniston’s birthday is. It’s February
11th. Fear of spending money
on things I don’t need. Fear of being trampled to death by horses. Multiple
horses. Fear of missing the opportune moment. Fear of myself. I know I have the power
to destroy me.
