Afraid- Nadia McGee

What are you afraid of ?
When I was a child,
This question was easy,
I answered of bugs, of darkness, of clowns.

As I grew up my answers changed.
Now as a teenager,
I answer my grades, my friends, my future.

When I am an adult,
I might answer my life, my job, my family.

But what I have always been afraid of
Was the great unknown;
Things I have no idea how to face
Now when someone asks me,
What I am afraid of,
I will answer,
I do not know yet.
