Binary

A quick stream of consciousness poem

The fear inside me is binary.

Fear of failure, fear of success.

Terror at the concept of being perceived

Measured in equal parts

By the horror of being unseen.

The lightning strike can power dreams

Or it can slap my heart into failure.

My bones can hold me up or they can break

Under the weight of these ruminations,

These thoughts,

These dreams,

These nightmares.

The fear is binary.

Two stars whipping around one another,

Casting pulsing light across my nightless world.

I crave the dark of sleep but yearn

For the light of day.

Too much bubbles inside of me

Yet there is emptiness in my mind.

I am afraid of nothing

And of everything.
