My princess, why are you scared?”

“I am scared of the world, is it not clear?

I am simply unprepared.”

My princess, why are you scared?”

“I fear my final destination, is it not clear?

I am simply unprepared.”

My princess, why are you scared?”

“I fear my thoughts, is it not clear?

I am simply unprepared.”

My princess, why are you scared?”

“I fear the rope ‘round my neck, is it not clear?

I am simply unprepared.”

My princess, why are you scared?”

“I fear I have broken your heart, is it not clear?

I left you unprepared.”

My daddy, why are you scared?”

“I am alone in the world and hold the blame, is it not clear?

I was simply unprepared.”
