I'm not afraid of the world around me

Not afraid of the thoughts, the criticism

Afraid of neither failure nor judgments

I'm not afraid of the darkness around me

For how can i,

When i fear my own mind,

Afraid of my own heart beating

When i fear letting go of the truth

Of everything frail as it blows away

Just like me slipping every day

Into the edge of my mind, dark and foggy

Unclear of my wants, desires

Making my heart stutter with goals lost

Making me fear uncertain future

And yet; yet I do not fear the dark

For how can i

When i fear my own mind
