I am so afraid
To let myself go.
To let others
Behind these walls.
It seems hard
And yet so easy
To let someone
Into my shelter.
Yet I am so terrified
Of losing
That place
I have carved for myself.
I am so afraid
To love you.
And afraid
Of myself.
I do not trust
Even the passions
Of my heart
That longs for free will.
Song in the Silence
