I am afraid.

I am afraid.

Of what might happen,

Of what I'm feeling right now,

Of the decisions that I might make.

I am scared.

Of this gnawing feeling,

Of a number of sensations going on and on,

Of the state of peace that might break anytime.

I am frightened.

Of the prisoner trying to break free,

Of the cup filled to the brim,

Of the runner ready to sprint.

I am terrified.
