Fear

Fear is running 
In the opposite direction 
When you see a dog

Fear is 
Not knowing if you will awake 
The next day

Fear is screaming 
When you see a spider

Fear is shuddering 
When you see a snake

Fear is 
Not knowing when you will have your next meal

Fear is whatever a human-being 
Says it is
