Another part to the series..these aren't nessasarily my fears as I said, but I enjoy writing about them. :)


Aviatophobia- Fear of flying.

Why do you have to live so far
Why can't you be closer
We have been friends for years now
You are more like a sister

2 years have passed since I have seen your face
But I do not forget
Those big brown eyes, and reddish hair
You look like a pixie

You have invited me to stay with you
For a week or two
In your lovely new house in Oregon
Near the coast of the ocean

I buy my ticket in advance
I feel sick to my stomach as I do
The day comes to go to the airport
It is hard to leave the house

There is a wait, which makes it worse
I watch the jets take off
Wondering if they will crash, burn, or fly
To their correct destination..

Finally my flight is called, I am glued to the seat
I try to sit up, and move my feet..
I feel as if I have grown roots..

I finally make it on board,
I relax into my seat
Someone up ahead of me
Is telling horror stories

Of death, destruction, and missing parts
Of planes they have heard of..
I just cannot do this, my friend
I have to go away..

So here I am, back at home,
200 dollars in the hole
Right now we should be laughing..
over a movie and popcorn
Instead of this aching in my soul..

Where is the printer? Need to print this out for emotion's sake... I used to be like that once upon a time, until I was forced to fly a million miles... yeah, I did get over it :))

It is such a rational fear... I pity her even though she's fictional.

I really like this series. =)
