no idea (a poem)

Crying woman

I don’t have much left:

inspiration,

family,
money,

patience, kindness, self-control,

life,

hope.

 

I don’t know how long it will be:

before my circumstances overcome me,

before I lose my home,
my friends,
my mind,

before I lose my future,

before I am taken,
imprisoned,
thrown to the wolves,
put on ICE,

 

before my heart explodes

or implodes upon itself.

 

I just don’t know.

 

Does anyone?
