I’ll Fear It For You

-I’ll Fear It For You-
by Keaton Foster



Whisper
Whimper
Say nothing
Stay hidden
Obscured
Protected
Thus
Not truly living
I’ll always understand
And so won’t others
Far more than should
Far more than intended
Bravery is indeed a rarity
Being so frequently terrified
Identifies with normalcy
People like me
Are the ones seen
As monuments of insanity
When crazy is what we
Are least of all
I’ll fear it for you
Do nothing
Not an ounce of harm
Not a mountain of shame
None of it was meant for you
So why claim ownership
Why identify with any of it
Drop all of it and walk away
Retain as little as possible
I will consume everything
I will devour the darkness
I will enter into the madness
So that you don’t have to
I really don’t mind
How could I ever
I was born for this
I was handed over
Back when I was a child
Experiences have prepared me
You stand no significance chance
While for me the odds are good
That I’ll continue to survive
That increasingly I’ll thrive
I’ll fear it for you
I’ll take it deep inside
I’ll take only what I need
And release what I don’t
I’m a complicated being
Made less complicated by you
What you fear is what I embrace
What terrifies you only concerns me
What keeps you hiding avails me
All of it brings me through
All of it is seen in clear view
I’ll fear for you
Not because I have to
But because I want to
Whisper
Whimper
Say nothing
Stay hidden
Obscured
Protected
Thus
Not truly living
I'll always understand
And so don’t others
Far more than should
Far more than intended
God once had a plan
I’ll assume you’re part of it
I’ll be certain that I’m not
He won’t mind
He won’t be concerned
He never has been with regard
To those of us meant
To deal with what
Makes people like you suffer…
