Sshhh


there is a fear that I alone know
that hugs me tightly as I go
it’s with me when I blink an eye
and also when I scream out why
I caress it in under the happy sun
we snuggle when the day’s all done
I hide it well with an easy smile
that hurts when it lingers a while
and so we dance this daily dance
like lovers frozen in college romance
but through this macabre pantomime
of inhales, exhales and surviving time
and asking why it should be so wrong
I emerge braver, a little more strong
