I fear not of tomorrow <br />The dark scares me not <br />I am not full of sorrow <br />Although I've weeped a lot <br /> <br />What I fear is not on paper <br />There are no words big enough <br />I am not a hater <br />Although this world can be so tough <br /> <br />What I fear is much deeper <br />It is not simply cold or hot <br />What makes me a weeper <br />Is the fear of loosing all I've got <br /> <br />It's the fear of fear itself <br />That keeps me up at night <br />The fear of fear itself <br />Is what keeps happiness out of my sight <br /> <br />It's the fear of putting all plans on the shelf <br />That makes me afraid of loosing my very self <br /> <br />The fear of scaring away <br />Who I am inside <br />Is what makes me <br />So afraid I hide<br /><br />Old Teenage Poems<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fear-41/
