If I were a bird

Would I not be fearful of being the air?

Because a bird flies

Yet I do not


If I were a fish

Would I not be fearful of drowning?

Because a fish swims

Yet I do not


If I were a spider

Would I not be fearful of bugs?

Because a spider eats bugs

Yet I do not


If I were a cat

Would I not be fearful of rats?

Because a cat hunts rats

Yet I do not


If I were a corpse

Would I not be fearful of death?

Because a corpse is dead

Yet I am not


If I were a human

Would I worry about many things?

Because humans do worry

And I do as well
