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

PoetryA collection of my poetry. there is no rhyme or reason between them, they are simply there because i wrote them and needed a place for them to go. i know, my grammar sucks. also, there will be updates whenever i write more poetry.
