I'm Afraid
I'm afraid of myself unfilered.
I'm unpredictable,
uncontrolled.
I have no pause,
rewind,
nor will I respawn.
I'm afraid,
so I block that self out.
I distract it with netflix,
Black ops 2,
and the musics.
I'm afraid,
so I keep that self busy
with work,
school,
or a movie.
I'm afraid,
so I ought to stop now,
or else poetry,
might just let me,
be free.
