Phobia

a quick google search tells me that
the ten most common phobias include
ophidiophobia: an intense fear of snakes
aerophobia: an intense fear of flying
astraphobia: an intense fear of thunder and lightening
agoraphobia, social phobia, mysophobia
and so on
but what about the fear that keeps us up late at night?
forces us to change our ways, settle for less?
makes us choose the wrong people, live the wrong lives?
what about that intense fear of loneliness
that blooms from our skin, little forget-me-nots
deceptively delicate, and yet so eager to grow?
