If you honestly think about it,
Nobody's truly afraid of tests
They're afraid of failing,
Nobody's actually frightened by the dark
They're frightened of what could be hiding in it,
Just like,
Nobody's really scared of death
They're scared of not living

I really love the theme of this poem, and the ways that you described different fears. It's truly unique. However, I feel like the ending was a bit anticlimactic. I wonder if you could start out with a person being afraid of tests and ending with death? That way it makes it sound like the fears get stronger and stronger throughout, so the tension builds a bit more. Feel free to take or disregard this comment, it's totally up to you... just an idea. Overall, love the piece and what it stands for. Nice job.
