I am cautious.

No, not cautious,

Afraid.

I, who can look over a cliff

and not be scared,

I, who knows no fear

am afraid.

I could be bold,

I could make all marvel

but I

am afraid.

I could humble the most arrogant person

with only a few words,

buh I

am afraid.

I withdraw into my corner, 

a queen to her castle.

I take refuge by myself

like a lone animal.

The cool walls comfort me,

but still, I

am afraid.

Afraid of what?

If wisdom was illegal

and intelligence outlawed

I would be guilty

if I were not

afraid.

But I

am afraid,

and my fear is my refuge.

I, who knew no fear

am afraid.
