Fear stalks me.

Like a lion stalks its prey.

It inches forward.

Leaps.

Fear that they will get sick.

Fear that I won’t be strong enough.

Finances.

Insurance.

Illness.

Depression.

I’m the silver lining girl.

But sometimes the lion of fear pounces.

On the days I’m smiling my brightest.

Is when most often, it’s devouring me most.

When I wonder how I will go on.

But I do.

The silver lining reappears.

The lion falls back.

And begins to stalk me again.
