Now that you know all of me
I hope you're not afraid
I'm a wreck, a mess, a basketcase
evil and pain-
I recognize their face
I seek not your pity
or sympathetic eyes
I just need you to love me
and tell me no lies
I was so afraid to let you in, but you welcomed my brokenness with open arms. Thank you.
fear

the fear of loving you
the fear of losing you

but I will not let
the waves of fear
engulf my ship

I will dive into the
depths of your embrace
and let the storm in your eyes
carry me out to sea

-I will not need a life vest this time
Fear does nothing but hold you back. Jump, then fall.
I want to dive into your thoughts
and never come up
for air
sinking deeper
and deeper
until I drown in all the lines
you've wanted to write
but never have
can we get coffee sometime?

I am fading.
Falling deeply into the abyss.
Of nothing but darkness.
With despair and regrets.

I am nothing.
Hardly breathing, I'm about to break.
With no hands to hold.
With no arms to care.

I am overpowered.
Beaten badly, crawling to live.
Crushed to pieces.
Reaching the end of the line.

I am unprepared.
I'm too early for this journey.
With few tools I have.
I exhausted myself quick.

I am stuck.
Confused, I'm losing my mind.
Struggling between giving up and moving forward.
Which way should I go?
Too much doubts about everything.
I'm about to **** myself with problems I made.
