all the little big things (volume 6)

all the little big things

I'm afraid of the direction the world is heading in,
I'm afraid of the way that we're doing nothing.

I'm afraid that we're not going to do enough in time.
And I'm afraid of the way I feel about other people.

I'm afraid of knowing who I am,
I'm afraid of knowing what I'm not.

I'm afraid that my brother will act on his words,
I'm afraid that the winter's too long.

I'm afraid of the impulses in my head,
I'm afraid of the way I don't care.

I'm afraid of all the read receipts that I let be
I'm afraid of the words in these poems.
