We're all afraid of something, <br />All have our strange little fears, <br />They might even cause a panic attack, <br />Or force you to shed a few tears. <br /> <br />I'm gonna share a few of mine, <br />But there not your usual fright, <br />They're not like fears of the dark, <br />Or things that go bump in the night. <br /> <br />But clowns on the other hand, <br />Send me to my tomb, <br />They make me wanna slit my wrists, <br />Or choke on toxic fume. <br /> <br />Large bodies of water-that's right, <br />No summertime 'fun', <br />Cause to me thats like staring, <br />Down a fully loaded gun. <br /> <br />I'd rather be on death row, <br />Or worse-sit through math, <br />Than have a holly jolly mascot, <br />come and cross my path. <br /> <br />Talking in front of the class, <br />It dosent get much worse, <br />It's silent and it's akward, <br />Like the backseat of a hearse. <br /> <br />I'm afraid to die, <br />Cause when I've passed and when I'm gone, <br />I'm afraid my memory won't <br />Live and carry on. <br /> <br />These are some of my fears, <br />But please don't tell, <br />Cause then they'll see my soft side, <br />And not just my tough outer shell.<br /><br />Lumber Jack<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-afraid-be-very-afraid/
