Who am I afraid of?
No, not the threatening weather,
man, or a beast, for sure.
I am afraid for myself
of getting hurt and
dragging my loved ones
in the way.
I have fear of the self inside,
reacting negatively,
and hurting others unintentionally.
In the lone world of the psyche,
we are afraid of ourselves,
for the loved ones
for fear stems from the inside.
