i am afraid
not the height, not the depth, not the ageing, not the weather; but I am afraid of me when I don't learn; not the sound, not the flashes, not the snakes, nor the insects; but I am afraid that lessons will be wasted; not the fist nor its punch, not the people poking all the time; but I am afraid if I take same loss on and on; I am afraid that I will move on from my regrets I am afraid that I will be stuck at same level, Fixing myself over and over. I can't take the beatings which are repetitive I want to learn the lesson before the next event But I am afraid I keep on making same mistakes I don't want an eternal chain of regrets with same root I am afraid I don't make new mistakes as I am tangled with old ones I am afraid that I don't give chances to life for new experiences and memories and hence I am afraid I would become the teller of the same story.
