Fear

Dread To suspect 
Maintain a strategic distance from 
And be frightened fear 
We anticipate, and avoid the surprising 
While, stress, whiten, cringe, squat 
Vacillate, wince, worry, quail, tremble 
In amazement, break out 
In a sweat dare 
Not feel concern, have butterflies 
Typifying second thoughts 
Lose strength 
That is fear
