FEAR


FEAR

 

IM SCARED

That love wont love me back

And when it does it will attack

My heart my soul and my life

Sometimes love feels so good that it just isn’t right

I’m scared that love really is hate and hate really is love

But who really knows only the man above

I’m scared that love will leave bruises

Because I keep believing thee excuses

That I am always receiving

They ask if I love them

I say I cant knowing I can

I’m scared that love will leave me stranded

That love won’t be what I hoped for

That love will make me wish I had more

That love would keep slipping

That love will be the reason that I’m still unforgiving

I’m scared

That once it starts it will end

That we will no longer be friends

Too scared that I’ll be hurt once more again

I’m so scared that I’ll be left high and dry

That my tears will soon turn to cries

Mostly I’m scared

That love will finally get it right

Scared

That I’m running out of time

Because this love thing that I keep trying to find

Isn’t real I’m just too blind

With love I feel so left behind­

I sure hope that love would change my mind

I’m scared

That I will find the man of my dreams

And he will be everything that I need

But once I fall for him he’ll leave

I’m scared

Too scared

I fear love

Hello Everybody, I am Malayasia S. I'm 21 from Washington D.C and I have been writing poetry all of my life. Poetry is a way that i can express myself it's one way that I can be myself and not be judged. When I perform my poetry I feel like I'm powerful like I am a hero. I only write about my life and my feelings because some where down the line I know that I am not the only one that feels the way I do. I perform because I love to make someone's day and my reading my poem I just know that I have brightened someone's day. The best happiness in my life is making someone happy and my poetry makes the listeners happy as well as myself. I live not knowing what tomorrow will be like. I live for today. I love to take risk.
