My fears are

Not new

Rather ancient

My fears are

Not a by product of

Traumatic experiences

Rather what is experienced

By all at a certain point

In existence

My fears are

Not rooted in the known

Rather are rooted in the unknown

My fears are not complex

Rather simple

My fears are not advanced

Rather primal

My fears are

What comes after death

We made claims that lack

Definitive proof

Plainly I fear the

Unknown force that is death

And what happens after death

Those are my fears.
