some things are scary

like a shadow behind you at night while you are walking home

or a strong noise  in the kitchen when you are home alone

or losing your mom at the store when you were little

and the fear is a strong feeling

it freezes you

it makes anxiety come

and everything seems blurred 

and it's hard to breath

and your heart is beating loud

and you can't hear anything else

but that shadow behind you

is just somebody who's walking home

just like you,

and that sound in the kitchen

is just your cat 

getting down from the counter,

and your mom is right behind you

choosing what to buy for dinner,

and now you feel stupid because you got scared for nothing.
