poesie

closure

it's hard to express
the things that i feel

i feel as if my mouth
was filled with lead and
my mind was brimming
with fear

things never seem to
go the way i intend

i resort to writing in
metaphors and lying
because i am overcome
with fear

i run from things like
what we're facing

i hide and i lash out because
i am terrified i will have
no closure because
of my fear
