tonight
i'm scared.

fear-FULL.

apprehensive.

comprahensive
of the response-ABILTY
i'm taking on.

tomorrow
i bring home my dad
it's sad
he's kinda' bad
not healthy
in body nor mind.
life ain't benn kind
lately.

i said i'd stay
help him thru each day.
find a way
to let him be
where he wants
ta' be.
at home.
not alone.

with me.

but me,
i'm scared.
fearfull.
apprehensive.
pensive.

what if
i don't do it right.
what if i might
mess up.
not keep up.
not be up
ta' what he needs?

can i do it?

show i try?

if i don't,
then why
not?

so many questions
with no many answers.
dancers
across my brain
'nuff ta' drive me insane.

make me scared.
afraid.
apprehensive.

but.
i gotta' try
'cause if i don't
i won't never know
if it was fear
or pride
or snide remarks
that made me
scared.

tonight.
i'm FEARED.
