I'm only afraid because what
Is inside me, holding this limp flesh in one piece
Is what consumes us all in the end, one way or another
Is inexplicably soothing and frightening
Is nothing but everything we've come to know
Is something we'll never fully know
Is what makes us human, prideful and weak
Is the difference between me and the next guy
Is the fundamental factor of us all
Is what shakes my steady mind
Is inside my thoughts, draining the light
and all things flowery and "normal"
I should be afraid
