I am so scared right now

I’m sitting alone in

a dark room,

imagining my worst fears

letting them take over,

my state of mind

doesn’t matter

where I’m coming from or

where I want to go.

It’s 2 o’clock in the morning

and I am almost

a basket case.

I think people walk around

like this

all the time

they’re just afraid to admit it.

In fact,

I don’t even know

if I want to acknowledge it.
