When I was Seven years old
I got acquainted to real fear
Through the flash of a cane
As it whipped past my ear
No harm was done to me
It didn’t stop my real tears
What was this new feeling?
What was this new frontier ?
As I cowered from the cane
This new feeling became clear
When I was Seventeen years old
Had gotten used to that emotion
The infamous one of yesteryear
But I saw it through a car light In my eye as I sat in the rear
What was this new feeling,
That emanated from the gear?
As the cars made impact
I felt the feeling so severe
When I am Infinity years old
Compounded ten times over
And as aged as I will be
As wrinkled as I will appear
The feeling’ll still haunt me
Affecting my relationships and career And will still be a new feeling
That guides the ship I steer
That much is unclear
What remains crystal clear is, I will never get used to fear.
