Mother I fear;
everyday,
every moment,
every second.
Mother I fear;
the monsters under
my bed,
the nightmares of
my dreams,
the dark, silence.
Mother I fear;
that rain won’t fall,
that the sun won’t shine,
that the wind won’t blow.
Mother I fear;
people,
hoards,
friends,
family.
Mother I fear;
the day I lose
myself,
the day I lose
everything,
the day my soul
gives up.
That day is near,
Mother.
I fear,
Tomorrow.
