Fear

What I fear most is
my fomo,
and it often drives me mad,
if I live just long enough
to end up grumpy, old and sad,

sad, alone
for who loves complaints
made for breakfast,
of my fomo turned to romo
and my tears
unimagined?

It's kinda different. The definition of fomo and romo in your last words helped me a lot. Those are new words for me. This was mentally stimulating. I have a new understanding of missing out on something.. I hate fomo literally. Because of your little, simply written, packed full of imagery poem, I now hate romo. " )' Romo don't feel good. Regretting fomo makes me beat my chest in distress. ")'
I love the imagery. The title is too ordinary, but describes the theme effectively. The rhythm, flow and pacing is smashing.

"FOMO - fear of missing out ROMO - regret on missing out"

It's a slang term I heard while watching the news one morning.
