This is a feeling that
resonates within me
and makes me quiet.
I feel empty
and wanting.
so empty, yet so full
of wanting more.
I know how my life
looks, I know how
I want it to look
and I want you in it.
Maybe I'm just *******
scared of transition
Maybe I've realized
that i'm terrified of
being alone.
So I use people
like teddy bears. I
hold them close,
sleep with them every
night
sigh into their
soft fur
and kiss their paws
But eventually, I throw my bear
to the
garbage.
And I try to sleep
without it, but
the nights are cold
and scary
So I ask Teddy
to come back.
But Teddy's not the
same.
Teddy doesn't soothe.
So I get a new bear
never happy
It's this feeling
that resonates in me
that I'll always be here,
with or without a
******* teddy bear
and I should
teach myself to
feel good,
even when I sleep
alone.
Is that it?
Am I just
scared of
alone-ness?
scared of the night?
But I feel it in my skin,
in the follicles of my hair,
and behind my teary
wet eyes
That
Oneday
I will walk down the
street at night.
Daring someone to
cross my path.
Wearing high heel shoes,
just waiting for someone
to fall in love
with my glowing smile
and my radiant hair,
just so I can say,
"no thank you."
