I Fear Again

I fear again. Now I’m worried 
Because my happiness is lasting.
I’m shaking with fear - I’m terrified.
Today I am happy and trusting.

I know, this state is not normal;
An attack has to come in a while.
The sweet happy day can be final,
The next hour may be a trial.

I must do something in self-defense.
Oh, yes! I should get myself ready.
I should build a high wall or a fence
To fight it off - nothing is steady...

I fear. I’m trusting less and less.
I’m worried again. I can’t stand it.
Oh! How to keep the happy whiles?
My sneaky enemy! Wait a minute!
