We all have anxieties, worries, and fears. What are you scared of? Address one of your worst fears.
Today’s twist: Write this post in a distinct style from your own.
SCARED TO DEATH
Written by John Yeo
Here goes my style No. 1~
What am I afraid of ? When I was younger, nothing!
Now I'm scared to lose, my wife and soul-mate.
I do not want to be dependant on anyone else if dementia strikes.
That would be a fate worse than death for me.
It will never be my style, to write in a helpless way.
To lead my life in a situation when I only remember today.
Without my friend beside me to guide me through.
I am now retired and living very happily with my wife Margaret. We lead quite active lives in our retirement, I have plenty of work in the garden. Margaret loves cooking and spends some time creating dishes from the produce I bring home from the allotment in the Summer and Autumn months. We belong to a bowls club and also bowl indoors during the Winter months.
Easily my biggest fear is that Margaret will go to heaven before I leave this world and I am left alone. Then it will be very scary if I develop Alzheimers disease or dementia, and I become dependant on complete strangers for my needs.
This post requires me to write in a style that is not my normal style.

CARE POEM
By John Yeo
This unbearable feeling is hard to share.
After many years suffusing into each other
An unbreachable gap has come to appear,
Shattering feelings built over many a year.
We shared many times with mutual respect
Happiness with laughter, always together
Never stopping to consider this awful end
The Death of a lover and a very dear friend
At the last, Death rips and shreds the past
Smashing our life to a million shards
The painful cutting and tearing apart,
Bloodless breaking of a once proud heart
Memories abound in solitary sadness
Flooding my mind with thoughts and despair
You were once here with me,
always there,
This harsh world continues without a care.
