(Hey guys! You'll find that this poem is a little different from my others in terms of writing style and expression, but I hope you enjoy it all the same!)
To live in this world
Is to live in fear.
It is easy to be afraid of the unknown
But sometimes I find that I am much more afraid of that I do know.
If you know not what the world is capable of,
If you do not understand what human beings can do,
When they feel no compassion
When they lack empathy
When they cannot control an urge
When their hatred is fueled by irrational fears and delusions
When they seek vengeance
When they crave violence . . .
We are malicious beings
Seeking an end to the things we cannot understand
It is possible to be unaware of the rationality or presence of these fears.
It is impossible, however, to be completely unafraid.
