To not know
by
Sherene Delgado
I let the time slip through my fingers
I let the possibilities leave me behind
What did I miss?
Will I get another chance to see?
I must run
Run from the pain
Run from the future
The uncertainty
The unknown
The past is my foundation
What my world built on
What I have learned to deal with
To live is to suffer
But the future is the unknown
The un-experienced
The possibility of suffering more deeply than I already have
I’m afraid of the future
Only because, I've learned from the past
