"I'm scared of no"; "No what?", she cries; "Scared to grow And live", he replies, "Scared to live and learn And feel and cry"; "You shouldn't be so stern", She says, "Just try". "I'm scared to try!", He screams aloud; "But why ever why? You seem so proud"; "I'm scared of shame... And being shot down", "But there is no blame", She says, with a frown.
Reason for writing:
For a period from about Sept 90 to about Nov 94
I wrote something like about 400 poems. Those who
have read them have generally told me to have a
go at publishing them, but frankly I'd like a second
opinion. The origins of this poem I can't rightly remember
but it dates to about Nov 92, I think.
