NaPoWriMo 2026 Day 9

Alone

There’s far less things that frighten me

My fears have changed

As time has passed I’m less concerned 

My psyche less deranged

What people think, what people say

Why did I care?

Their thoughts and words cannot harm me

There is no danger there

In blackest night, when darkest thoughts

Whirl in my mind

It’s then my truest fears creep in

All terror now refined

In that moment, that frozen space

Alone with me

To stay that way forever more

Would my worst nightmare be.

No one to hold, no one to love

No single friend

Until at last I fade away

Forgotten in the end.

Cheers,
