Frightened

Please donate if you enjoy this poem.

Constantly sweating.

Finding almost everything threatening.

Over thinking over worrying.

Going over scenarios over and over mentally.

To the detriment of my fertility.

Diabetes is no walk in the park either.

Constantly binge eating and wondering why I’m getting fatter.

Body aches and tense muscles.

Juggling competing priorities is a stressful tussle.

Loss of the feeling of control.

Why so frightened?

Is it because your chest tightened?

Burning the candle on both ends.

All the way to the bitter end.

After all I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thankfully I’m no longer frightened.
