i'm
I am afraid.
I am scared;
Not of the night
Nor of the glooming nightmares,
But of light; of the never ending beginning.
I am frightened.
I am numbed;
Not by the empty streets
Nor by the darkened foggy alleys,
But of brightness; of the hollowing promises.
I am cowed.
I am terrified;
Not of the screams
Nor of the horrifying whimpers,
But of the noiselessness; of the silent whispers.
I am appalled.
I am fearful;
Not by simple words
Nor by threatened gestures,
But of thoughts; thoughts that mold hopes.
