Fear: A poem by Parul Makkar

I feared
Of deceit,
Of getting caught red-handed,
Until I realized,
It’s the way of life
Started by Adam & Eve.
I feared
Of loosing,
Possessions that I belonged,
Until I gathered,
That all that can be possessed
Is destined to be lost.
I feared
Of death,
As most of all mortals
Until I knew,
Death doesn’t devastate
Life does.
