Always Something

How is it that
I'm always so
Scared. Of the dark.
Of opening up.
Of letting in.
Of being able
To love.

Maybe I'm
Just young, like
They always tell
Me. But then why
Do I listen. It must
Be true. Right?

Or maybe,
I'm just scared
Again. But maybe
Because they all
Tie back to
One thing.

Pain. Maybe I'm
Just scared of
Being hurt.
But no matter
What it is I'm
Afraid of, it's
Always Something.
