Scared of the Future

I am dragged into tomorrow

Kicking and screaming

Nails catching on carpet

pleasedontmakemegodontmakemedealwithmyself

But of course

Time drags on

Deaf to my desperate please.

Morning dawns

And I barricade myself

In a prison

Meant to keep me safe.

Rosebushes

Keep everyone out.

This place

Is mine alone.
