Is there anything that frightens me? What do you do daily? I'm not afraid of my mother's tears, are you? I'm not concerned over the ending of my fantasy. I'm not worried. I'm afraid of a moon that doesn't shine at night for her. I'm scared of a sun that doesn't rise in the morning for her. I'm terrified of her land. I'm also frightened of her sea. I'm afraid I'm scared of her. I will always be concerned over my glorious nation.

I feel this way too "I'm afraid of a moon that doesn't shine at night for her. I'm scared of a sun that doesn't rise in the morning for her." I am afraid of climate change and what it might be doing to all of us and the sun and the moon!
