Analysis of I fear
I feel fear.
I fear not being able to feel a partner's touch,
I fear the agony a partner's touch may bring.
I fear not being able to give my children enjoyment,
I fear not being able to feel enjoyment.
I fear my future,
I fear the present.
I feel fear.
I feel pain.
I feel pain when I sleep,
I feel pain when I am awake.
I feel pain when I move,
I feel pain when i remain still.
I feel pain when I get nervous,
I feel pain when I am calm
I feel pain.
I fear living a life of solitude,
Solitude continues.
I fear constant agony,
Constant agony continues.
I fear not having children,
Impotence continues.
I fear pain.
