I Fear Nothing, Except Me

I fear nothing, Except myself And all the suffering, It’s bad for my health. I fear everything, I fear freedom and wealth, It’s always something Making me lose my sense of self. I fear feeling trapped Stuck in this cage I had to re-adapt, I had to relinquish the rage. I fear the shadows That hide in the corners of my mind, Waiting for my eyes to close, Eerily they sit And bide their time. I fear dying by another’s hand, How could no one see? Were their heads buried in the sand? He smelled my fear, Pulled me closer And whispered, “Hello Dear.” I fear losing everything I’ve worked for, The bonds I have made, That alone scares me down to my core And is the reason that I stay, Every single day. I fear falling, Both physically and failing, I have a problem of stalling, Behind me dreams I run, Trailing behind. I fear nothing, Except myself And all of the memories And damaged mental health.
