I shed a tear

I don’t know why.

Suddenly consumed with fear –

I could not reason –

I could not think it through –

I could not find a plan –

I didn’t know what to do.I didn’t know I was unhappy

until I couldn’t stop crying.

I couldn’t hold back

even though I was trying.

The future seemed so bleak.

I was sure I couldn’t face it.

I felt a bit too weak.

And so,

last night I cried

so afraid of tomorrow

wishing I could hide.

But the sun

came on schedule anyway

and now I face

the tomorrow I feared yesterday.
