The World Can Be Terrifying

The world can be terrifying. I need more courage.

Driving in a car is terrifying. Flying is terrifying.

I am trying. I am trying. I am trying. I am trying.

I need more courage. Who will give it to me?

Planes crash. Cars collide. Bad cells divide.

How could I have gone so long like this,

Unaware, undisciplined, making bad decisions?
The world can be terrifying. I need more courage.

There is the grinding of steel and glitter of light
On the highway tonight, coming to and fro,
Fading and arriving in imperceptible moments.
Is this symphony or chaos waiting to happen?
