Wait

The agonizing waits for it to hit

The pounding of your soul in your head

The stress consuming your sleep

The fuss of running away

The worry of it follows your brain step by step

It creeps up behind you

Reaching for your heart

Ready to crush the life you hold

The legacies you'll make,

destroyed

and all you can do I wait

an agonizing, stressful, worrying, pounding fear

that you will be hit

and drop

fall

descend to the light that waits ever so patiently

while you fear the dark that follows the light
