I’m panicked!
This shouldn’t be happening.
It’s almost morning
My heart is hammering.
Fear without object.
Knowing I must hide,
But not why or from what.
Dread has cornered my mind.
My sisters, awake now,
Ignore my frenzy,
Think I’m just crazy.
They have no idea how right they may be.
Sitting quietly in the garage,
Between the two parked cars,
Where no one would look for me,
I might be able to calm myself.
Dawn’s light moves across the concrete floor
And my breath begins to slow.
Darkness allows the enemy to close,
But light is winning this morning’s battle.
