Fear of Being

Fear, a sacred, treasured, but deeply hated creation of Man.
What does it mean, to truly be human?
Not having to deal with total fear of discovery?
Not dealing with the pain of claws and fur?

I fear myself, for I am not same.
I fear myself, for a creature of bane I am.
Sent away from family and friends,
Gathering remains of a shattered life.

Cautiously watching waters to see if I am man or beast,
Fearing myself, for my life, and for my status.
I'll gather the fear, of being alone.
