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.
