Pick me

/ Kait King

Please don’t pick me
not again
I’m terrified
so frightened I can’t
breathe
It hurts and I can’t
see
through the tears

I don’t know
I’m crying
Universe,
Please stop me
now
before it’s too late
and time
steals you away
from me
too brief
too painful
this I can’t do
Please,
Please Universe
don’t pick me

  1. Wonderful poem Keith 🌷🤝 This poem captures raw, overwhelming fear and heartache—pleading with the universe to spare the speaker from pain. The repetition and fragmented lines mirror panic and desperation, making the emotion palpable. A haunting cry for relief. 💔
