Day 24- 30 for 30 (National Poetry Month)

Fear of Love's Possibility

 

Day 24

I'm scared

Of all the things

I said I would be

And I’m scared of all the things

I said I would do

But the one thing I am truly scared of

I am scared of falling in love with you

I know that may seem a little strange

Quite possibly I am deranged...

And I know I may seem

Like someone who don't care

I know that there are times

When I seem like “I'm not there”

Trust and believe

It is me who really dares

To truly let you in my heart

And see all my hopes and fears

I'm a woman of many varied talents

Just wait and maybe you'll see

But while I am here trying not to love you

I am not letting you see the 'vulnerable' me

Is the hope of more worth it?

Is my scared of the unknown

greater than my courage?

Is the risk of me appealing?

Can you stop my fear from reeling?

So I'm scared

That if I let you see the truth in my heart

This truth will set you free

Free and very gone and honestly possibly

Far from me.
