Fears

I am not afraid of loving,
    I am afraid of being left in pieces incapable of being fixed.
I am not afraid of having friends,
   I am afraid of burdening them.
I am not afraid of showing off,
   I am afraid of wounding the pride or feelings of someone else.
I am not afraid of attention,
   I am afraid of hatred.
I am not afraid of what my government represents,
    I am afraid of their power.
I am not afraid of living,
    I am afraid of changing into something I don't want to be.
I am not afraid of changing myself,
   I am afraid of loosing myself.
I am not afraid of you,
   I am afraid of what you will do to me.
