Fear (Free verse) by Mona Lisa
I am frightened now
To awake to happy people
Who walk high and proud
As I am falling invisibly,
Voluntarily.
But when I fall
I will be known
For maybe a week
Or a New York Minute.
I will be King
King of chit chat over caffeine
Why's and if only's,
And the sparrow's wing I nurtured
Will try to fly bravely,
But break it's neck inches from the nest.
I'm so fucking tired seeking Galilee,
Just want to help the sparrow
But what about my family?
What about tomorrow?
Tomorrow can wait,
For there's a sunset to share with loneliness,
And a warm wind to dry my eyes
I'll pretend it's an Angels breath,
As I write my goodbyes
to welcome death.
