Im afraid


The pit in my stomach opens wider.

I feel like my heart will fall into it at any moment.

I can feel my heart slowly falling down into the pit of my stomach.

I jolt up and take a deep gulp of air.

I try to catch my breath.

I’m scared.

I’m scared of what’s to come next,

or what’s gonna happens.

I’m scared.
