Afraid

I'm Afraid when I start this poem From the moment that I begin I'm Afraid I will get to the point Where I won't be able to end But here goes... I'm Afraid of growing up I'm Afraid of not being enough I'm Afraid that all my wrongs Will never work out right I'm Afraid that I’ll fail I'm Afraid that I might I'm Afraid that one day I'll be asked the question why I'm Afraid to inhale and exhale the air that I breathe I'm Afraid of what is real and what is make believe I'm Afraid of taking this jump I’m afraid of looking up And never finding self love I'm Afraid of the ever increasing lies Hidden inside of the decreasing truth I'm Afraid of going to college I'm Afraid of new knowledge I'm Afraid that there's more to this Ever growing up I'm Afraid to answer The shrill ring of my future I'm Afraid that the end When it arrives will be a dry blend I'm Afraid of this life I'm Afraid of it's death I'm Afraid of the thoughts That keep bouncing in my head I'm Afraid of you I'm Afraid of me I'm Afraid of what I can and what I can not see I'm Afraid of being Afraid Which makes me more Afraid I'm Afraid that one day I'll run out of things to say Which makes me even more Afraid
