Fears

I’m not afraid of crying
not afraid to make it known
and I’m not afraid of dying
just afraid to live alone

And I’m not afraid to love you
just afraid to let you know
I’m afraid that if I hold too tight
you might decide to go

I’m not afraid of darkness
and I’m not afraid of pain
I’m afraid to make a venture
For the fear there’ll be no gain

  1. true...fear is a tricky thing...you cnt ignore it ...for fear brings caution..but too much caution...and you loose things that you could regret for life...

  7. Fear is what rules us all.Most of all the fear to let somebody know of your love.And that pretty much indicates the fear of getting hurt.
    Beautifully written.Two thumbs up!
