A Deep Fear
A deep fear
of failure and weakness
resenting a father who had
taken no title
Causing him to live by
external passion
A fiery temper who sought
to correct his household
his loved ones lived in fear
perpetual fear
Resented hate ruled
gentleness and idleness
suffered
But who is it
he fears greatest?
his father or he himself?
An intimate anxiety deep within
it is he himself he fears
A strong man
yet down within his heart
weakness is still planting
A deep fear
of failure and weakness
A deep fear
of he himself
