The Beforelife: Poems by Franz Wright

I For One by Franz Wright 

I for one never asked 
for my youth back; when I was young 
I was always afraid. 
Like somebody in a war 

with no allegiance 
I was terrified 
of everyone. 
But now 

now I am amazed 
and grateful every day. 
I don’t know how that happened. 
I am so glad 

there is no fear, 
and finally I can 

ask no second life.
