Double edge swords

What do I fear?

I fear the unknown. That mysterious and dark paths will consume me and that I will never be able to find my way home.
I fear  to disappoint others. That people will lose trust and respect in me and will look down from their ivory tower at me.
I fear to be silenced. That my voice will never be heard and that I will be overlooked simply because I am young.
I fear pride. That it will blind my already blurred vision to the point where I only see myself in a throne and what others do wrong.

I am scared of spiders. When I sleep they crawl through my hair and climb on my ears. Cold tremors shoot through my spine.
I am afraid of mirrors. Not only am I afraid for seeing my reflection and shaking my head in disapproval, but of seeing a hooded figure behind me.
I am terrified of darkness. My mind races when I turn the lights off. What is in that corner? Is something watching me? Is that heavy breathing from outside my window I hear?

The thing I fear most is one in the same. Regardless I will be tormented with this my entire life. I fear Death. I fear that when I die that is the end. It's over. Nothing matters. However I am equally afraid of eternity. Endless. Infinite. Timeless. Nothing matters. Because... I have forever to get it done, or I will die and be forgotten.
