A poem about sharing the fact that we're all afraid inside.

Being afraid, all the time,

Being afraid, forever,

Being afraid, in your mind,

and labelled "disturbed" forever.

Being unseen, and being afraid,

and being forever lost,

We need each other; we need ourselves

to cope with darkest loss.

To hope for days with sunshine new,

we know not how to do.

We only know death's siren call

telling us what to do.

We hide our hearts

We hide our souls,

We hide our heartstrings too.

We do not know how to come forth

and share our terror too.
