My Enemy No. 1

FEAR
Fear of not being good enough paralyzes, sofocates and puts me in a constant state avoidance and wanting to flee.
In order to escape this fear, I numb myself with multiple vices and self-sabotaging behaviors.
Fear makes me rage when the ghosts of my past are awaken because I don't know how else to deal with them.
Fear, you are my greatest enemy but I'm learning a great deal about you and I will no longer let you control me.

@adi314 Franklin D. Roosevelt in his inauguration as the 32nd US President said "...the only thing we have to fear is fear itself...". This is true today and I think most people can relate to your statements and feelings. Nice post!
