What Let Go

what
     are you so afraid of
                             words
                             why
what
     are you so afraid of
           yourself
           yes

what
     are you so afraid of
                         revealing too much
       revealing too little
what
     are you so afraid of
                              nothing
        everything
                              no one
        everyone
what
     are you so afraid of
   having nothing to believe in
              no one
                          too much
                                          never enough
what
     are you so afraid of
                            darkness
                  spiders
                        falling
                           letting go
what
                           let go

This is brilliant! This is gorgeous. It reminds me my favorite poem by Samuel Beckett, a portion of Cascando, a very famous, beloved piece of work. Wow.
