afraid for no reason
of the dark,
of the light, of speaking
in public.
we're afraid
of embarrassment,
of not being
smart enough,
or strong enough to get
the job
done.
we cringe in crowds,
worry
about change.
the psychology books
are full
of things were afraid
of, giving them long
fancy names that are hard
to pronounce.
we're afraid
of spiders, of bugs,
of heights,
tight spaces.
snakes and mice.
intimacy.
we're afraid of flying,
of change
and failure.
we're a crazy lot walking
this earth.
