Scared of the dark

Scared of the lone

Scared of the other

Scared of all change

People have always been

And might always be

Scared of the unknown

We hide behind closed doors

Both physical and mental

Afraid of what’s out there

Why are we scared

If we haven’t even seen

Haven’t even tried

Fear guides us

Leads to war and death

Battle it with courage

For that wins hearts

Forms bonds everlasting

For we can never live

Without the world

Beyond our boundaries
