I'm afraid of letting you down

You've been so kind to me

And I'm eternally grateful for

you caring attitude towards me

But every time I see you I'm 

Afraid.

You resassure me of my 

capabilities when I'm feeling

down and try to tell me it's Ok,

that there's no need to be so 

Stressed.

But every time you do so

something inside me wonders

how long I can keep this up.

How long I can continue this

Trauma.

Your kindness is overwhelming

And I can't think of how I can

ever repay you for all you've done

but there's something you don't

Know.

I've been afraid to tell you but

each time you lend a helping

hand when I'm tumbling I know

I've done it once more and I 

Hate

Myself for it more and more.

My guilt begins to increase as

I count my faults in a whirlwind

of my mind and know I've done

It.

I'm afraid if it keeps happening I

might lose you and couldn't bear 

that. Your positivity and happiness 

instantly put me at ease every 

Time.

But I know soon you'll begin to

notice more of my imperfections 

than before and before I know

it you'll know I'm letting you

Down
