Poetry: Afraid

by Terra L. Fletcher

Created on: December 24, 2011   Last Updated: May 01, 2012

“Afraid”


Fear. So afraid of losing,

Of seeing, of being

Alone. Afraid of myself,

Of you. Of letting down.


Never said I’d save you.

Afraid. Of being saved.

Don’t mean to push

You away. I freeze.


Reality gets too close.

Guarded. Can’t lose

Control. Afraid of

Everything I know.


Fear of life, of living.

To see my own

Misgivings. Afraid

So afraid of me.
