Fear

Apr 28, 2025

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.

Tulip Chowdhury writes from Georgia, USA.
