Don't think me egotistical for having nothing to be scared of.

For the things it's done to me.
For the things it's done to others.
But do forgive me if I only find it peaceful.

For the way he takes away.
For the way he never gives back.
But do forgive me if I've already met him once.

For the idea of "never having".
For the idea of "forever empty".
But do forgive me if I'm used to being hollow.

I know I should be frightened of what used to haunt me.
From all the memories in my brain.
From all the ways I'm damaged.
But do forgive me.

of all the things
 I can't ever remember to be afraid of.
