My Fears Poem by Marieta Maglas

Sometimes, I am fearful to follow my own creeds,
And I have fears that I may cease to be a happier person,
Not because I fear to hope,
But because it's very hard to achieve some goals.
I am fearful, when I see
People are substituting hope for a reason
Tending towards a pessimistic point of view.
I am more fearful than ever, when
I see people fearing to think.
I have a preference to have certitudes.
That's why I fear I cannot be existent without hope,
Nor hope can be existent without fear
While cutting through complex certitudes
In a period of doubt and questioning.
I am not very well prepared to face on this,
But I will never be an ignorant,
I will never use lies to achieve my goals,
I will never fear to ask people around,
And to help people in trouble,
And I will always feel safe while thinking that
My hope is to be with the Lord, someday.
