Does it scare you?
I'll make a man of you.
Tie.
You.
Down.

But-
Not to me.
But-
To yourself.

Does it frighten you?
To see through you.
Fronting.
Fake.
Smiles.

But-
Not to me.
But-
To them.

Does it scare you?
I will double dare you.
Strip.
It.
Off.

But-
Not to me.
But-
To the mirror.

Does it liven you?
To live inside of you.
Pushing.
Building.
Walls.

But-
Not around me.
But-
Around you.

You.
Lay bricks-And use me as mortar.
You.
Burn bridges-And use me as fire.
You-Have-So-Much-Power-In-Your-Heart.
But-
Where could I find it?
Wrote this for someone I cared for who pushed me away due to their own self-doubt.
