Deep Dark Fears
August 14, 2019
I worry that this sore throat
Will last forever
And I’ll recite my wedding vows
In a raspy new normal
I worry that my hair is falling out
With no signs of stopping
And I’ll be left with a head clear enough
To fry an egg on
I worry that the thing under my bed
Just wants to be friends
And I’ve been rough on the fellow
Poor thing
I worry that I’ll look in the mirror
In an unwise night
And I’ll see something
That doesn’t like me either
I worry that the world is ending slow
But then I know it’s ending fast
I wonder: will we ever reach a point
Not worth losing?
