I have this strange feeling
A subtle anxiety
A vague worrying
About shadows in the dark
That are far enough away
I know I won’t see them today
& maybe I’ll even get lucky
& they disappear before they get near
So I try not to think about them
Even though I know they’re still there
& one day may come when then appear
So I’ll have to handle whatever Calamity they share
Which is why this subtle anxiety is here
Because even if I keep it out of my mind
& devote myself to maintaining my peace
Even if it’s not in front of me
If I wanna accept reality
Then even if I believe I don’t need to worry
It doesn’t change the fact that it’s like
Reading a news story about a meteor
That nearly collided with Earth
& realizing there’s nothing I coulda done
Either way to have averted that tragedy
Other than to have been born lucky
So knowing it’s a waste of energy
To worry about something
When I can do nothing
So it’s better to keep it out of mind
But just because you don’t think it
Doesn’t mean the thought isn’t there
& so there’s almost a Pandora’s box
Of things you don’t wanna know
For one reason or another
At least now you can’t see
All the monstrous things that are scary
Yet, though it’s hidden behind mystery
To have the box acknowledges the possibility
