How Can A Person So Filled With Fear And Anxiety Poem by Shalom Freedman

HOW CAN A PERSON SO FILLED WITH FEAR AND ANXIETY

How can a person so filled with fear and anxiety
Be at other times calm and fearless?
How can I person so uncertain inside
Be at other times indifferent to all uncertainty?
How can a person longing to escape life
At other times love life so easily and naturally?
How can I be who I am?
When I am so contradictory to my own instinctive self?
And what am I really
If I do not know what I will be
In the years days hours minutes ahead?
