Scared

I'm scared of you
I'm scared of them
I'm scared of God
I'm scared of dogs
I'm scared of being alone
I'm scared of not having enough money
I'm scared my car will break down on the highway
I'm scared of work
I'm scared of my parents
I'm scared of going outside
I'm scared of the news
I'm scared of drunk drivers
I'm scared of bullies
I'm scared of people with tattoos
I'm scared of people with beards
I'm scared of my landlord
I'm scared of Bigfoot
I'm scared of humiliation
I'm scared of my class of 1987
I'm so scared I feel like my heart will burst
I'm having stomach aches and I feel crazy from the fear
I hope tomarrow I won't be scared

About this poem:

There are a lot of things I am afraid of, and people usually come into the list. I don't really have a fear of animals, as long as I am safely away from them, people are harder to avoid.

well mc that about covers half of most peoples fears....but yes I think people can be the most ruthless,cruel,hurtfull,but they can also be very kind at times. I personaly would rather get bit by a dog over the bark of a cold human.

rapturecapture, thanks for your comment. I would post poems more often if I wasn't working. I will try to post at least one a week on my day off.

kidmenot, thanks for your comment. I have been bitten by a dog, and it was pretty aweful. But I agree that is pretty painful to be yelled at by people, especially if you like that person.

Hi, mcradloff,
I'm scared of... As Nelson Mandela stated, “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.” Every day lived is a day of much courage. Thanks for sharing.

gnj4u, thanks for your comment. Nelson Mandela is a great man. Dave Chapelle does a parody of him that is one of the funniest bits he ever did.

madtat29, thanks for your comment. I didn't realize you had tattoos. I guess the good thing about being on here you don't have to be scared.

We all can be 'bundles of fear' at one time or another and yet, as Joy said Every day lived is a day of much courage.. I so agree.

To your courage, mcradloff
