Fear
by Kimberly Workman

Summary: Poem.

Disclamer: Not mine.

I often fear
That which I have done,
The crimes of power
Which were perpetrated through me.

I often wonder
About the payback that will come,
The fate of my future
Resting upon the exploration of the past.

I often contemplate
If it were not punishment,
The sealed decision
That I was not worth it before or since.

I often loathe
That which I had been.
The son who was not worthy,
A soldier who didn't die,
And a cop who cannot love without destruction.

I often pray
That I be forgiven
For all the killing I have done
And all the suffering I have caused.

I often fear
That he will find out
And punish me with abandonment
Like all the others before.
