Cold & Afraid

A Poem by YungCautiouss

Cold & Afraid

I’m so cold and afraid
From the noises being yelled,
Maybe from the tears being drained.
Faces being frowned.
People dropping down to their knees like they’re afraid.
The souls completely drowned.
I’ve never in my life seen so much attention being paid.

I’m so cold and afraid.
What’s going on?
Why is everybody so dramatic?
I’m so lost; no one’s telling me anything.
Until I hear a voice in the dark misty shadows,
Behind the loud noises and water puddles of tears.
I see a light.
A strange man walking towards me.
I can barely see his face, the light so bright.
Until I heard his voice saying,
“Son everything is going to be alright.”

I’m so cold and afraid.
This is couldn’t be!
Why is this happening to me?
Please tell me it’s not my father!
Wow! This got to be a joke!
What am I going to tell my daughter?

But, I’m still so cold and afraid.
I’ve finally got the chills.
My heart is locked and broken.
My mind is so stubborn I really don’t care how I feel.
Why am I this way?
Why did he leave?
I have no one else to talk to.
I’m in my stage, where I’m just trying to grieve.

I’m so cold and afraid.
People trying to help me.
Be here in my home.
Anger builds up and I yelled,
“Just leave me alone!!!”

All of sudden my father came back in the bright light.
White gown smiling.
He said once again, “My son everything will be alright.”
“Stop your crying,
Cause I will always be by your side.”

Now I understood the truth.
So at nights alone I pray
For him to come back someday.
But, still my heart and my soul got me feeling.
I’m still cold and afraid.
