there's a bottle of fear next to every kidney
including the beans
(just kidding about the beans)
sometimes it breaks and fear spreads with the blood
it can easily ruin a day
I am afraid of bees and roller coasters
I am afraid of horses
and deep water, fire, old food in the sink
sometimes I'm afraid of everything
there's a pillow made of courage in every belly
including the jelly belly
(just kidding about the jelly)
that pillow can make people do things
they never believed themselves capable of
it will make me go on a roller coaster, even though
it's the scariest thing I know
and afterwards when I throw up because I'm so dizzy
I will feel proud and disgusted and terrified in the same time
I will love you if you do
(go on a roller coaster)
and I will love you if you don't
but going to an amusement park
would be more fun if you did
