Unpredictable

The unexpected is

my greatest fear

somewhere it is

always lurking

it keeps me 

in a fetal

so afraid someone

 will pull back

 the curtains

an abrupt knock

makes me pace

the floor

wondering what is

behind the closed door

this imposter invades

causing my smiles

to fade

walking eggshells

it makes

constantly counting

my mistakes

this fear I encounter

is so strong

what I fear is the unknown

although some things

 are fixable

my greatest fear still

remains the unpredictable.
