I guess I am afraid
of what’s going to come
afraid of being alone
afraid of feeling numb.

Afraid of wrong decisions
how they will unfold
afraid for more collisions
afraid of being old.

Scared of the times to come
that I am just not enough
scared of being dumb
scared that it’s too tough.

Terrified that I write
not good enough to get paid
terrified of the fight
I am just so afraid.
