Afraid Poem by Michelle Tolly

Afraid



I’m afraid
Of life

Of what
Could be

Of what
Should be

Of what
Has been

Things change
People suffer

I’ve made mistakes
Like nobody could muster

I’m afraid
Of memories

Memories that
Challenge our very existence

The very sanity
That we try so hard to control

The very power
Consumes our integrity

I refuse to be another person
Who dies because of integrities gone wrong?
