Nikki Pruitt Poet Rhyme

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.
