Prison

All my life I lived with fear ... Afraid my dad would come home drunk and yell at my mom . Fear my mom would beat me out of frustration . Fear I would be picked on or fail in school. Fear my bronchitis and heart condition would take away all my breaths .  Fear that no one truly loved me . Fear I wasn't good enough or worthy of love . Fear that I was the cause of everything wrong in my world . Fear I would be useless and worthless . Fear I would be homeless ..... 

Fear terrorized my life . It stopped my growth ， killed my self-esteem and now it's still arguing with me and this time I am loosing control as it ravages my body with panic attacks . 

Fear ，it is time for you to go . I am no longer afraid . What I am afraid of I can handle with the help of myself and those around me who love and support me and doctors if necessary. 

Fear please leave me now and go away and please don't come back . Your job is done . You are fired !
