I can't get it out of my head. I think too much, my brain is dead. I worry what could happen if I let myself free. To love. To feel. to be. I wonder what would I be if I was to let go. If I was courageous enough to let my feelings show. I don't want to make a "foolish teenage mistake", but at the same time, what's at stake? My reputation? My faith? My heart? I can't risk the things I prize, in the shadows of loneliness I will abide. Maybe some day I will rise, and face the fears I hide
