What is depth, an ocean is deep, it hides so many secrets and places un-touched by times tide?
Or is depth a void, a hole, a vast space filled by nothing, if I'm deep, am I empty inside?
Explain to me this depth, you associate me with, do you see something I don't or nothing at all?
Is my depth like the abyss, of horrors untold, when you stand on the edge do you fear you'll fall?
Am I deep like a well, do I hold water, does this mean I support life and the living?
Or am I deep like a grave, carved in the earth, is it peaceful rest for the dead I am giving?
Or does deep mean I am not shallow, that there is more to me, than your eyes see?
Do you see in me comfort, a friend, kindness, do you have love and respect for me?
Am i deep like a darkness, a shroud void of light, are there parts of me you cant comprehend?
Does this depth of sorts scare you, do you run away or fight, why don't you dive deeper ... my friend?

Yet I suppose in life some may know each other only at a shallow level. 'How are you?' 'I'm fine', sort of thing. I think it's because we don't reveal everything to everyone, and need not do so.
I believe there is still a lot of fear surrounding social situations whether it’s fear of how people will come across or fear of finding something we don’t like, fear of finding ourselves feeling negative emotions such as resentment leading to judgment.
Most fears are surrounding the unknown, ignorance is bliss etc.
You don’t fear the height you fear the possibility of the fall you don’t fear the darkness you fear the possibility that something lurks outside of your visibility
