Come to think......
I'M AFRAID
I'm afraid
That one day
My fears will be true
That dawn
When the thoughts
That have been tormenting me
Will hunt me down and haunt
me
Inside my cocoon and web
Where I've always kept them
For fear not to face my fears
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid
That this roof will leak
I know I built it well
I trust the materials I used
I know I recruited the best
engineer
I know the measurements well
It came out definitely top
All specifications in place
Still, I'm afraid it won't
last.
I've built enough stores
I've stocked them with food
Enough to feed me for long
Long enough the drought will
last
This is something I'm
prepared for
But, I'm afraid
Like,what if
What if tomorrow comes with
no me
Will I'll be still there
To enjoy all I've invested
Will the sun shine on me
again
Will the rain urinate all day
and night
Will the floods cover
everywhere
To an extent, I'll drown in
it
I'm just afraid, too afraid.
I've to overcome this
Death is stalking my life
each day
In my shadow I see its
presence
Mumbling things I don't
understand
I've to keep pace with time
I don't know when I'll be robbed
of it
So, I'm living each day at a
time
I'm cherishing every small
and big
I've to be happy and at peace
I've to defeat fear and
procrastination
I won't waste any more
minutes
I won't chase what don't
chase me
I've left what we meant to
leave
I've kept what were meant to
stay
Life's too short to take it
hard on myself
I'm never afraid again, I'm
confident.
