Autophobia
()
About this ebook
Arthur Reed is a painter, a father, a husband, and a friend. However, ever since a traumatic incident in his childhood, he has suffered from Autophobia, the fear of being alone.
Follow his life story, from an optimistic childhood to a difficult adulthood, as he experiences the full range of life; from lost loves and failing marriages to runaway children and soul destroying nursing homes.
Over the course of 30 poems, you will learn what it means to fear being alone, and witness a man's desperate struggle to overcome his fears.
Warning: Once you read this, you will never be the same... so steel your heart, fasten your seat-belt, and prepare for a journey filled with fear and fortune!

Autophobia - Hayden Pearton
The Age of Innocence
The Joy of Life
-5-
Listen to my story, listen to my rhyme
For once upon a simple time
There lived a boy who loved to play
And laughter and cheer was all he’d say
For that boy is me and I was him
Back before the world got grim
But that is not now nor is it then
When I had a mother called Rose and a father called Ben
For now let me enjoy the life of a child
In Ohio where winters are strong and summers are mild
There is joy to be found in the simplest of things
Not in fancy cars or gaudy rings
So remember your inner child so lost
And remember that adulthood has a steep cost
So from all worries and fears be freed
As you listen to the tale of Arthur Reed!

Paint by Numbers

Do you have a talent or two?
Something that only you can do?
Are you able to sing with perfect pitch?
Or ride your bike over a great big ditch?
Can you memorize every word of a play?
Or surf a big wave on a sunny day?
Well I have something at which I excel
Although dad says it would never sell
To paint a picture from the mind
That is the talent that I did find
For I could stand before a canvas all day long
While others go hiking or sing a song
I draw and sketch all that I
