My Selfish Feelings

I wish I could be confident

And give my mind the full consent

To learn to trust and love and wait

Instead of shutting them out with hate

People try to get close to me

And I make sure it’s not easy

Because I don’t want to let you near

All because of my selfish fear

A fear that you'll forget my name

That my face in the crowd will look the same

Or that you'll betray my breakable feelings

Right after they have finished healing

That’s why I’ve avoided all who try

Sometimes making up a lie

To keep them distanced, keep me safe

So that my feelings will not feel chafed
