Fears Of A Creative Person

Have you ever looked up at the sky 

Waiting for a meteor to come speeding towards you?

Have you ever looked at your house flooring 

Waiting for the ground to break open and throw up lava?

Have you ever walked on an empty street

Waiting for zombies to jump out of the silent houses?

Have you ever driven a motorbike 

Waiting for the vehicles behind to turn into army tanks? 

Have you ever eaten in your office cafeteria

Waiting for your colleagues to turn into evil pigs?

Have you ever walked a neighbour’s dog

Waiting for it to turn into a bloodthirsty hound?

Have you ever played a video game 

Waiting for the gunfire to start hitting you?

Have you ever given your blood 

Waiting for the test results to show up positive for all the discovered diseases? 

Have you ever faced a blank paper

Waiting for something good to appear on it?

Have you ever published a poem 

Waiting for somebody to click the ‘like’ button on it?

If you have, 

Then welcome to the creative world - 

That fantastical world of heart-warming fiction

Which holds equal space for gut-wrenching fears..
