AFRAID!

I’m afraid of rain and the storm

Of winter and the sombre feeling it brings along

I’m afraid of the heat of the sun

And of the things I wish I’d never done

 

I’m afraid of flying high when praised to the skies

More so of lying low as people walk past by

I’m afraid of looking deep into Somebody’s eyes

That he’ll see through my soul and know where my secret lies

 

I’m afraid of giving people another chance

Of being marooned – not given the benefit of a second glance

I’m afraid when people call me their “Friend”

For the word is synonymous with Bend, Lend and Transient

 

I’m afraid I’ll never be what I want to be

That I’ll never be able to crack the mystery

Of Life and Love and everything It entails

I’m afraid this is who I’ll be…always…without fail !
