My Sister

My sister is the best friend that I could ever hope for in life. She is so special to me. She came over today to check on me because I am sick, and we just talked for a few hours. She is going through a period of change in her life as well. She thinks that I should just go for it and leave. Go travel and find myself. I want to-I am just so scared. I have been slogging through my life for so long that I am scared to death to do anything different. I have never had this problem before. When a job or relationship was not working out for me I just quit. Now I am just paralyzed with fear.

Paralyzed with fear
I am so scared that it hurts
It hurts that I do not know who I am
I do not know where I am going
I am lost in the forest
No trail of breadcrumbs to follow
My heart feels so hollow
I am walking in circles
Going nowhere
Learning only that I have become a coward
Living a life that I do not want to live
