Fear
Fear,you are so paralyzing
and so unnerving.
I had forgotten you
for many years now
but this time
you chose to
reach me through
my precious
to have me in your clutches.
His questions
seeking immediate answers from me
as a way of reassuring himself,
draining me out of all energy
to move,
with body shutting down
to all stimuli -in ejection mode.
It was like being alone
in the centre of storm-
trying to be grounded
but with the responsibility
of shielding someone overwhelmed
with imagining
that worse is coming
and determined to be my tour guide
of each of the outcomes.
I have known for sure
that fear is a ghost
but how do i explain to
my precious
to make himself bigger
to make fear small.
But most importantly,
how do i make myself
not get dragged on a trip
to keep him company.
