Kay

I stare at the slightly lit ceiling

Trying to keep from sleep.

I won’t let go because I’m terrified

Of what might come after me.

I’m done with all of the nightmares

I can’t nap without starting to twitch.

I am beginning to wonder

If it might be my brain,

Am I a glitch?

I have a fear of fearing

What is to come next.

Will it be weather occurring?

Or perhaps another death?
