Tuesday Poem: "Anxiety and Doubt (Angst und Zweifel)" by Erich Fried


Don't doubt
someone
who says

they're anxious.


Be anxious about

anyone

who says

they're without doubt

by Erich Fried
(translated by Paul McConnell)


Zweifle nicht
an dem

der dir sagt

er hat Angst


aber hab Angst

vor dem

der dir sagt

er kennt keinen Zweifel
