I'm Afraid

These are some new lyrics I wrote about the effects of Huntingtons Disease on mine and my Mother's life and how it makes me feel.

I'm afraid of dying__

while I'm still alive.

 

I'm afraid of dying__

all alone on the inside.

 

Just laying there__

with a stare

like a glare

   There's nothing there__

   There's nothing there__

 

I'm afraid of dying__

left living on the outside.

 

All of the life gone, just gone!

It's so unfair.

 

You can no longer

give your kids a hug,

or be there for them

when they need you anymore.

 

Just like my Mom left me__

a long time ago...

and she's still dying__

left living on the outside.

I feel you in this poem MB. This touches a feeling we all have at times. I've lost a few loved ones along the way.

I know your mom was dear to you. It's good that you explore your feelings in poetry.

All the best.
