I'm Not Afraid

I'm not afraid of the darkness,
I'm afraid of what's in it.
I'm not afraid of memories,
I'm afraid that I will forget them.
I'm not afraid of heights,
I'm afraid of the fall.
I'm not afraid to change who I am,
I'm afraid you won't know me at all.
I'm not afraid to try something new,
I'm afraid that I will fail.
I'm not afraid of hiding my emotions,
I'm afraid of my mind becoming my jail.
I'm not afraid to put myself out there,
I'm afraid of being judged.
I'm not afraid to make the leap,
I'm afraid of getting nudged.
I'm not afraid of hiding myself,
I'm afraid I might not take off the mask.
I'm not afraid of figuring it out,
I'm afraid of the given task.
I'm not afraid of showing myself,
I'm afraid of the spotlight.
I'm not afraid of being watched,
If you're not in my sight.
I'm not afraid of getting hurt,
I'm afraid of myself in a fight.
I'm afraid of what lurks in the darkness,
I'm always waiting for the light.
