I am afraid

June 27, 2011
By Anonymous

I am afraid
I am afraid
The fear is spreading across my body.
I can feel it everywhere.
I am afraid.
Afraid of what I don’t know
Afraid of what I do know
Afraid of what I will know.
The fear is spreading now,
I can feel it everywhere.
I am afraid
Afraid of what can actually happen to me
Afraid of what may come
Afraid of how my future may change.
Afraid of how everything I’ve ever known could come from under me,
The fear is spreading across my body
I can feel it everywhere
And I am afraid.
