I'm Afraid Poem by Rebensky JeanCharles

I'm afraid to walk through the shiny gate, because the gate keeper doesn't allow any entree.
I'm afraid to see the stars because they burned my eyes from staring too long.
I'm afraid to walk the road because the directions are lost to me....
I'm afraid to open the room because the last one was locked and there stood a hooded man with dagger.
I'm afraid to reach the top of the mountain because I constantly fall back down into the abyss.
I'm afraid to welcome the light because the dark has been my only friend.
I'm afraid to run because the last time I came short of the prize.
I'm afraid to see because last time I was blinded by my own self-hatred of being alone.
I'm afraid to love because every time I do, it only leads me to the dark empty room where I started.
I'm afraid to cry because there aren't any more tears to be released.
