Fear Anger Love

Fear fear fear

Lessons from yesterday haunt - 

demand from tomorrow looms.

No way to escape.

Today is saturated in anxiety.




Anger anger anger

Frustration over inequality.

Malicious throughts cross my mind.

Lashing out in bitter words

because I have no power over this.




Love love love

More than anything you are mine.

Through it all, good and challenging.

Now may be a struggle - yet - 

no matter what we have each other.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
