Afraid Poem by Aldo Kraas

Afraid



Afraid of height
Afraid of fire
Afraid of being burned again
Afraid of being without money and be forced to live in the streets
Afraid that when I end up sick there won't be anyone to take care of me
Afraid of being mistreated by other people
Afraid of being judged by other people
Afraid of being put down by other people
Afraid that I will end up fat someday and won't be able to walk again
Afraid to die
Afraid that no one will care for me anymore when I am old
Afraid that I will run out of food and starve someday
Afraid that people will forget about me
Afraid that I might be blind someday and won't see what I can see now
Afraid that I will lose my tooth and won't be able to eat

I find this so incredibly sad! Life is way too short to sit and fret over all the what might happens. Every moment spent worrying is a moment of living and enjoying the now! We can not change what will come about tomorrow so why ruin today by worrying over it.
