Analysis of Fear
Since morning to night
I am down by fear.
As if they are haunting me
and running after.
Fear of standing
in front of mirror.
If I'll find wrinkels
and look older.
Fear of taking
junk food.
If my stomach
Will be disordered.
Fear of talking
With other.
If it'll be
matter of bother.
Fear of losing
my purse.
I'll blame
everyone and curse.
Even in my dream
at night,
I find myself drowning,
and screaming.
