I'm Afraid

I'm afraid of the dark.
I'm afraid of what I don't know.
I'm afraid of witches, monsters, ghouls and ghosts.

I'm afraid of heights.
I'm afraid of falling through the air.
I'm afraid of depression, sadness and despair.

I'm afraid of drowning.
I'm afraid of calling a bluff.
I'm afraid of never being good enough.

I'm afraid of falling in love.
I'm afraid of heartbreak.
I'm afraid of no one being there when I wake.

I'm afraid of dying.
I'm afraid of being alone.
I'm afraid of losing everything and everyone I've ever known.

I'm afraid of pain.
I'm afraid of failing.
I'm afraid of never even trying.

I'm afraid of nightmares.
I'm afraid of dreaming.
I'm afraid no one ever caring.

But above all,
I'm afraid of myself.
