Going Places

I'm afraid to be
going places
with people to meet

I'm afraid to be
thinking of
what I am to me

I'm afraid to be
out there with
no one guiding me

I'm afraid to be
writing this
down in poetry


I'm afraid to be
walking down
the street with me

I'm afraid to be
thinking our
eyes could meet

I'm afraid to be
counting the
hours given to me

I'm afraid to be
anything at
all in reality

Steve Knoblock, 2009
