Starting to believe

Better to pretend than to live scared,
I have had the fear all my life,
Fear of death, fear of failure,
Fear I'll end with my hand,
Destroying myself,
Gripping my throat,
Agony,
In my,
Veins.

I love a nonet. I should start with hello but that isn't me in real life. Fear has been on my mind lately so it must come out somehow. I'll share as many nonets as I write. Same as I do on Facebook, but I think people here on this platform might welcome it more.

I found myself in therapy a few years ago, lost and searching for help. They certainly gave me help, just not as I knew it. I was told to write about my experiences as a young adult/university student. I acceded and wrote a few thousand words. Then something happened where I just kept going till 60k.

I love that novel, maybe one day I'll release it. If I can get over my fear. For now, I have Demonic Depression! One day, I hope to find a writing community I feel safe with.
