PHOBIA


Phobia

I really want to call you,

I’m desperate to say I love you,

But I can’t because am afraid you’ll say it’s not true.

I stare at phone all day wanting to call,

I really want to hear your voice, Trust me I really do,

But I fear you may have better people to talk to especially those whom you know.

 

Every time I see you at school.

I silently whisper to myself I just have to ask her out.

But the thought of you being with another, reminds me of a thing called rejection.

You’re a beautifully strange creation and i really want to figure you out.

I’m really into you though I just can’t let you know, I get I’m swallowed by the phobia trying to understand my current situation.

 

I really want to get to know you,

Though am in lost deep in my phobia.

Maybe I should I should just suck it up and approach you,

Or maybe I should I should just invite you over.

But I know none of those ideas will work,

Besides you push me away with the thought of saying I just met you.

I really want to be with you,

But I guess I’ve gat too much phobia.
