Fearing the Afraid

Your fear is determined
As you fall in an endless pit
Of suffocating a box.
Where hairs stand at end
On the backs of necks and arms.

Being afraid is whenever
One feels a trickle of fear
Run through their veins.
But not enough to call it their fear.
No, just being afraid.

Having a fear and being afraid
Have differences
Like none other do.
Two different things
Most of the time thought as one.
