My Fear by Lawrence Raab

i think this poem is about how when we get older we get more fearful of things. that is why the line ""each day his lists are longer" because every day people get more afraid of more things. and the author is saying they do not know how the "person" who deals out the fear is sorry or happy to do so but it happens. the author is asking for fears that are small and go away quickly and ones that he can deal with easily but in the end he does not know what kind of fears he will get. The author personifies fears by making someone give them too each person. this may be because it is easier for the author to think fears are given then to think that they are all in his head and he came up with them all by himself.
