Fear
I used to be afraid:
afraid of being disrespected,
afraid of losing,
afraid of staying alone,
afraid of being cheated.
Now with the passing of time
and growing age,
with continuity of all these
I stated above,
has lost its density.
Lately, I have learned that,
those who disrespect,
they reflect their insecurity,
or their desire to be like me,
but they can't.
I have realized,
whatever I have lost,
is just the process of making place
for greater things waiting for me.
I have discovered,
staying alone is better
than losing mental peace.
And I have also understood,
being cheated is better than
continuing with pretending accompany;
Because early detection is always better,
whatever it is, heart attack or heartbreak.
