(oh... I was supposed to combine the two...)
Fear
If someone asks me what I’m most afraid of
I’d need to think awhile before I answer
Would it be hate, deceit, or maybe even love?
Or some condition, like insanity, or cancer?
It’s not a look I see on peoples’ faces
It’s not the way that people look at me
It’s not about somewhere, or other places
It’s not about someplace I’d rather be
Not gaining weight, or losing all my hair
Not money, death, or taxes that I fear
Not ice, or snow, bad water, or bad air
There is no need to ask because it’s clear
What’s really scaring me could not be any clearer
It’s staring back at me when looking in the mirror
