Scared

/sigh

You know I hear you,

But do you know

How your words affect me

And how scared I get?

 

You talk about money,

And you talk about illness.

Today you talked about work,

And how it may be almost gone

 

My thoughts stray away

All day at school.

My mind wanders,

Mostly to better things.

 

Somehow it always goes

Back to this morning

And the pain I hid

And the fear you didn’t see.
