“I’m Afraid” A Poem by Favour Ifee Izuchukwu

I’m afraid that someday I’d have to love a man

I’m afraid to wake up in the morning and not be alone

I’m afraid to stay up till the neighbors sleep in order to cry and still have someone ask me “what’s wrong?”

I’m afraid my tears will break up with my pillows and get married to a person

I’m afraid to let my pain walk naked before another human being

I’m afraid my demons will love him... http://syncityng.com/2018/07/12/im-afraid-a-poem-by-favour-ifee-izuchukwu/
