Transcendental Sonnet #810:
Afraid
So hard to live so hard to will my heart
To beat to persist in the mockery
Of the motions of life heartbeat and breath
I want to live I am afraid of death
But being alive is so hard for me
And I feel so other feel so apart
From all the rest of life as I know it
I am afraid and afraid to show it
Everything I ever loved I have lost
All of it run through my fingers and gone
Sucked up inside a tornado and tossed
About in a nightmare waiting for dawn
But then when I wake I fear I will see
This is no nightmare but reality
