Poetry - I'm Afraid

I’m afraid

I don’t understand

It’s different

They’re different

My ideas whir

In concentric

Imperfect ellipses

Of logic

Maybe I’m afraid

Because I’m not stupid

Maybe I’m afraid

Because my God is too small

Self-importance

I bloating me

I don’t understand

I’m afraid

I’ve eaten the poison of society

I’ve cradled the babe of ancestry

Now is brave

Now is new

I’m afraid
