Fear

Knock! Knock!! Knock!!! 
Fright hit on my breath
like a prey with the predator 

shoo! Shoo!! Shoo!!! 
Even in my place of bed
seen has a egg shell
In a black man's world
I tried to be tendril like
but dwelling with cynics
can I have a grip of life? 
Days are dying
my palm is empty
like a cast net with no fish.
