Poetry Entry on November 11th

Why does fear always rob me of my joy

It never helps.

It always leads me down a spiral.

Of pain

Agony

And loneliness

It exposes the hole that never got filled.

It leaves me vulnerable

Feeling naked

It makes me want to runaway

And hide

I can’t bear the judgement

The toxic shame and guilt

It makes me want to bury everything about myself

Avoid

But it only gets bigger

Denial

But it only makes it worse

Ask for help

Ask for help

Ask for help
