I Am Afraid

I am silence I am the nothing that overwhelms I am the assumed friendship That ultimately fails

I am silence I appear when you don't expect I am thrown from people To give others' hearts dents

I am the dark I always hold the unknown As easy as you can turn on light Is as easy as I can grow

I am the dark I can make or break trust I make you heighten your senses Yet only some like the rush

I am time I can go fast or slow I can set up things to break your heart But I can also make things flow

I am time I can manipulate distance too I can save you from a broken heart Or give you hells to go through

I am trust I can be changed very quickly I can give my all to you Or I can remain picky

I am trust When fixed, I can't be the same I can be easily broken Due to matching with my name

I am feelings I am in all I can fill you with emotion Or not be felt at all

I am feelings Most lives I'm in are ruined From irrational thinking To making a scene with fluid

I am afraid Some rational, others not But one thing is for sure All my fears were taught
