Leave Me Alone | A Poem by Elena Mancuso

I'm not sure what I feel right now
But I'm pretty certain it's fear.
I wish it would leave me alone,
I much prefer when I can focus on
Something other than being scared.
It's much bigger in my mind than
It deserves to be, eating up precious
Space that could be devoted to
Positive thoughts, inner peace,
All manner of things I would rather
Be experiencing than this.
