Wingword Poetry Prize 2020 Anthology

Page 71

That I am afraid of something beyond spiders, Of the voices in my head, That are desperately waiting to be heard, What if I tell you, that I am Afraid of it all coming to an end, But it never really began, Did it? So when I tell you, That I am afraid, Of everything, Are you going to pat my head, And tell me that, “It is going to be fine?”
