AFRAID

I've made you afraid


don't be


dark as the night might be

bright as the day surely is


my rude laughter was meant

only to distract and amuse you


maybe even strengthen you

when your own stamina flagged


there's nothing out of the ordinary to fear

not even your own weakness


you'll know only afterward

when you've made it through


so if I've made you afraid forgive me...and don't be....
