Living Afraid

Living Afraid

A Poem by Sarah

Living Afraid,
things can only look up from here can't it?
I mean can things really get much worse?
I mean living day to day thinking what could i have done?
not knowing who you are losing next,
not sleeping because if you you,
you lose everything,
that everything you had was a dream,
not sure if you can bring that dream back,
lost in the air that is thick and an adhesive to my lungs,
causing them to cease and cause me gasp for air,
the constant pain in my chest, 
times it gets worse,
then you just hide behind something till it stops,
Here i am,
Living, praying,
that one day, 
maybe i can stop living afraid,
no longer watch people leave me,
no longer watching people suffer,
No longer watching people die....

This was excellent. It does sum up living in fear.

Life is all about having and then not having anymore. It starts with birth and death. I feel that the world we live in keeps the losing part taboo. And it shouldn't. Maybe life would seem easier and people whould have less expectations if it was different...
