Are You Scared Of Me? Poem by Thomas Henderson

What are you scared of?
Where are you going? Where are you going?
I wonder what you are doing
Are you scared of me?
Sometimes I am scared of myself
What I am is very different
You can see me coming a mile away
Are you scared of me?
I am a creature that can not be tamed
The blood inside of me is a mix of black and red
I have got a demon inside of me
Are you scared of me?
When it is night and the moon is about
The creature inside of me comes out
So where are you going? Where are you going?
I am a creature that can not be tamed
Why are you scared of me?
Here I stand in front of you
With the creature inside of me
I am waiting for someone to find me
HELP ME, HELP ME, JUST HELP ME!
Are you scared of me?
You are the only one I can trust
So can you be here with me
So why do you fear me?
So are you scared of me?
So the creature inside of me is growing
It grows every year, more and more
At night it’s all out on the world
So don’t fear me or be scared of me
Tell me why you are scared of me
Look into the mirror at my reflection
You can see the battle within me
So if you’re scared of me, tell me why
I am a loner but I do have some friends
I am not as different as you think
I have all the same emotions
But I use them in a different way
Are you scared of me now?
So if you want to tell me
That you are scared of me
Then do it now!
