Slightly angsty poem |
They say snakes spiders storms When they talk of fear I wish my fear was that simple I wish when I closed my eyes and tell myself I was being stupid the fear would just go away I wish I could call my mom and tell her with a weepy voice what this fear was but that won’t do any good. What I fear I can forget from time to time But it is always there I can sprint three hundred meters I can run until my legs feel like lead I can take twists and turns But when I stop It will always be there with me I can forget it for days at a time The laugh of friends A ball being dribbled up and down a court Music loud enough to drown it out All of these distractions but when they end it comes back Because what I fear I carry inside of me I fear my stress My quick ability to quit How dark the world seems when things get hard I am not the only one with this fear I’m not that naive, This fear is a part of life Underneath all of the spiders and storms there is something much darker A fear that comes more for some But that we all have The fear that comes when we are alone with nothing to entertain us but our thoughts We think what we don’t want to think |
