I Am Afraid

I AM AFRAID I am afraid of the dark darkness It mislead me of my ambition It never makes me pure If you never witness murk You will not value Light. I am afraid of myself I am a human and bound to errs I am bound to love and hatred If you dont value my present Then you will miss my absent. I am afraid of my dark shadow It leaves me in the same Darkness i feared heartlessly Darkness was it form Unto darkness it returns. I am afraid of my mother land It turns into a giant Whale Turns into a giant Hawk Turns into a saber-toothed tiger And abort dreams of possibilities. I am afraid of the good friend With pretty faces and fake smiles They give you trouble and troubled you in times of trouble With their crocodile tears of rubble. I am afraid of humanity They cant love me for who i am They shoulder my misfortune Never want me to write this piece. I am afraid of the unexpected Visitor, that come with pains And agony of the body and mind If u never witness this visitor You wont value virility. I am afraid of the sacred messengers of demise With blind eye of pity That causes unforgettable Memories of torment and throes. I am afraid of Almighty God The creator of all my phobias THe one that can do and undo The unquestionable God And He i fear and fear the most. © Adedamola Quadri Adeniyi All Right Reserved 2016.
