An old friend
wanting to catch up
I put out a line
A new face
eager to become acquainted
I put out a line
Someone who is good
who truly wants to know me
I put out a line
all these distractions
offering peace
from the dreadful truth
of my unease
So I put out another and another
I put out these lines
because surely
surely one of them will catch
Surely one of them
because I live in fear
of reeling in these lines
and no one is near
I fear reaching the end
and finding dissapointment
so I try to act tough
because I live in fear
of not being enough
