PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It's the truth that really scares me

When I want the perfect score

It's the world I cannot see

Or my heart they somehow tore

I mostly fear the dark nights

Wondering if I am doing okay

Even after all the fights

Will I make it through another day?

Fright comes from the others

Who lied and cheat and steal

Or the cat that pretends to purr

And you never know the deal

What shocks me most is you

Always confusing my little mind

With everything I should or shouldn't do

And answers I will never find

It's pain that always panics me

I can never seem to let it get a hold

Nothing and no one seems to agree

About the words I have once told

It's loss that starts my worry

I don't want to lose anyone or anything

My life turns into such a hurry

Not even stopping to feel the slight sting

Most of all, I am alarmed by myself

Never letting anything out, at least not directly

Always laying the truth on the shelf

Basically, I never do anything correctly.
