Once darkness was my greatest fear
now frogs give me a fright
it shames me how easily I scare
the chains of fear hold me tight

No longer frogs but height that scares me
then i fear snakes
why won't fear just leave me be
all of these things give me quakes

i miss when fear of the dark was adequate
worms, spiders, thunder storms
this has graduated to a new bracket
dogs, mice, now bugs of all forms

all of these thing gave me a fear
now on to a new fear

I was sitting all alone in the dark... this is really just about some of the things that scare me.
