I fear my father’s hands, due to the fact You don’t know which day He’ll give a handshake And which day he’ll try to strangle you I fear my mother’s hugs due to shame I don’t know which day it’s just a hug And which day it’s a grasp of all that’s left in the world I fear my cat Knowing one day she’ll die and one day I’ll say goodbye to the Only friend who kept me company in teenager-hood world I fear coffee For it’s too comfortable Too much like home Whispers to me, just another sip God knows what I would do if I overdosed with coffee in hand I fear men, funny, because I am one I fear them because they have landed me in places I don’t want to be in They have abused, assaulted, and hurt me in ways only god can imagine I am deathly afraid of separation I am petrified of marijuana As it ***** me up more than any other drug Lastly, I am afraid of myself, emo right? But I am truly scared of what I am capable of. What I can do. What I can’t do. Etc.
