...I am afraid. Why?

I'm afraid because I'm tired, and it's late, and I can't sleep.
I'm afraid because someone I know expressed the wish to shoot Americans after the election results came in, and I'm American.
I'm afraid because I have always identified as American to some degree or another and I have realised that I don't know what that means anymore.
I'm afraid because I deal badly with the thought of people dying.
I'm afraid because I deal worse with the thought of war, and it hurts me to think about it.
I'm afraid because I'm a pacifist.
I'm afraid because I don't understand fighting back.
I'm afraid because I'm alone.
And now I'm afraid because I hear thwe key in the door.
