Too Scared to Say


You're the time taken up,

I will never have enough.

You're the words, flooding down,

I see the ink, pouring out.

You're the dreams I see at night,

I can't explain this sense of "right."

You're the butterflies stirring in my belly,

I just can't shake this feeling of silly.

You're the chills I feel when we're out in the cool,

You be my heater as my feelings pool.

You're the thing that makes my day,

But I'm afraid of heartbreak, to scared to say what I want to say.

I'm a sophomore in this little town in Georgia that most of you probably haven't even heard of. Reading and writing has always been my life, but it's only been in the past few years that I've honed in on poetry. Now, I vent through it! I also have a passion for photography and community service. I would like to teach when I get out into the real world. My tidbit of advice for any and everyone would be don't take life too seriously, nobody makes it out alive anyways! Haha, have fun trolling around my profile. :) I have a wattpad, too! It's under the username KaceyJaceyXD, so hit me up there. :D
