Afraid?

Afraid?

Did you know I was afraid?

Of who, you say?

Of you!

You who’s me, who makes all the decisions,

You who’s me, who stray from religion,

Who search for good,

A quite bit hood,

Trying to do the right thing,

But sometimes feel like she’s dangling from a string,

Do the right thing,

You know who you are,

Or do I,

Do you,

Did you know I am afraid?

Of you? No, me.

Confident, spiritual women,

Don’t know if I am going or coming,

I guess I should fear nothing,

But I do,

I fear the unknowing,

Cause it is unshowing,

Did you know I am afraid?

And here I sit with dark gloomy clouds,

Afraid of the possibility of success,

To make me proud,

To progress,

Yet I am scared and stressed,

Did you know I was afraid?

Of sex, did that

Of driving, did that

Of school, did that

Of change, did that

Of love, did that

Did you know I was afraid?

But most of my fears I somehow overcame

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
