Anthropophobia

it darkens the mind

and dulls

the senses,

but you tell yourself

you need it,

like

a pathetic junky

afraid

of living.

you look out,

into the warm glow

of

the day,

but you know

days like this

bring out the

people,

and you’re more

afraid

of people

than you are

of living.

so today,

like yesterday,

you die

a little more,

alone,

in

your darkness.
