The Lioness and her Lack

How can fear be so strange?
How can I fear not of something,
but of the lack?
It is silent.
A threat.
A threat that screams at me in agony,
yet it makes no sound.
It soaks far into the deepest crevices of my mind.

Nice Read

I know fear very well. Fear in the form of constant paranoia. And not unfounded mind you!!! (I'm not a total wack job) heheh. But I don't understand the fear of fear's absence. That is what this poem is referring to isnt it?
