 I'm afraid  of the way I live my life.
 I'm afraid  of the way I don't.
 I'm afraid  of the things I want  to do but I won't.
 I'm afraid  of God.
 I'm afraid to believe and I'm afraid  of all the loved ones that I've made leave.
 I'm afraid  that my dog doesn't love  me anymore.
 I'm afraid  of the social laziness that let Kitty  Genovese die.
 And I'm afraid  of the mob mentality  that makes otherwise  normal people go blind.
 I'm afraid  of the way that the world works and I'm afraid  of the words in my notebooks.
 I'm afraid  that you all know that  I am a pervert.
 But the big red bird  that lives under the city
 doesn't give  a damn about  me and it dies every night.
 By burning alive.
 I'm afraid  of my grandfathers cancer.
 And I'm afraid  of my mom's dying arm.
 I'm afraid  that I've somehow caused  my family harm.
 I'm afraid  that the ones I love won't have enough.
 I'm afraid  that the ones I love  won't have enough.
 It's harder  to be yourself  than it is  to be anybody else.
I  wish I were a little  less of a coward  but the big red bird  that lives under
 the city
 doesn't give  a damn about me and it dies every night.
 So I bought a knife.
 
 I  knife.
