Why am I afraid?

Afraid to love

Afraid to let someone in

Afraid of my own voice

 

I know I cannot live like this

But I am not brave

I am not strong

Never strong enough to let someone listen

 

I try to keep a cool facade

But it only works for so long

Until it cracks

Splinters

Shatters

 

I have to trust

I cannot trust

They will be loyal

They will betray me

 

I will let someone in

Before I crash

I will let someone in

But who?
