Two verses about fear.
Why I Do What I Do
(and what it’s doing to me)
He said, "Two people I know were killed this weekend."
And I just nodded.
I asked him how it happened,
but not who, for fear I knew.
Thoughts On Introversion
He called with the invitation.
I declined, of course.
And then I lied with the reason
So he'd have something reasonable to say to them.
It wasn't until later that I realized
I couldn't go because I was still working.
But I'd given an excuse
Assuming I couldn't go because of fear.
