I Am Not Afraid

If I have so much courage, why am I afraid? That is like that cowardly firefly Here and there, the excluded, scattered light points Do you know the reason? This bio-luminescence of the cowardly firefly is actually A youth’s determination to revolt One of the inevitable attractions in the game of light, To transcend is almost impossible The wild partridge knows, the tribal girl knows, Knows the deep forest The evening knows, the hills and grasslands, The wind knows, the rain knows And a woman firefly knows the best Does anyone else know that?
