being twenty five
i’m scared of being hit by a bus
when i was 16, 19, 12 i used to dream of it
not to die.
just to lie in the hospital bed
to have everyone check on me
and now i’m terrified of it
i’m terrified to worry the people i love
i’m terrified of putting my life on pause to recover
i’m terrified of being hurt
and that’s what growth means to mean
