Fears?

Kailie Jackson


Alone,
I see the darkness,
The emptiness,
my fear grows
please don't leave me here alone


This dark, desperate
hallway
with terrors as
residents
circles this growing
fear
like vultures circle
a corpse.


And in an empty hole
Swallowing all that dare come near its grasp
Are shadows of the godforsaken past
That haunt me now and ever haunt me still
I must forget all that I did ill
Or else my fear will find itself a home
Where all my cruel night-terrors do roam


And If I Cannot Forget
There Is Only One Way Out
I Will Take My Life
For Everybody Will Be Better Without


So, in depression, I go.
To the beautiful cliffs with the river below.
And I think to myself, one last time,
I could have done better.
I stand there for a minute, in my thin, gray sweater
And with one small step I leave for the better.


As i leave this world cold and grey
I feel my fears grow
The loneliness and the hatred
My fears circle me like hungry sharks
