FEAR
By CloudRaven
Fear has taken over my body, the test is positive and yet I am not overjoyed, but in pain, in fear of all the what ifs The memories of before burrow through my brain I sink to the bathroom floor EPT test still in my hand It is positive I whisper to the walls It is true I am with child as tears fall from my eyes I shake my head in despair the fear balls up inside my stomach eating away the insides of my strength I am pregnant and don't know what to say I don't know what to think I don't know what to feel The fear pounds at my head as I lay on the cold tile grasp the test in my hand. I wonder if this time will be different If this time I will hold a baby in my arms and not pray to another in heaven. The fear curls up inside me it will live there for months to come and I hope that one day it will leave and joy will take it's place.challenge poem Written February 8th, 2002 © on Feb 08 2002 02:06 PM PST 0 • 1
