DANGER!

Distrustful of men, she pushes them away

Afraid of getting hurt, she keeps her heart at bay

Drowning in fear, that history would repeat itself

Daring not to hope, for love to be sweet or kind

Yearning for affection, but fearing rejection

Insecurity, her shield against any connection

Secretly wishing, for someone to see and reach out to her

Suffocating emotions have held her bound for years

Underlying trauma always bubbling behind the background

Enduring the struggle, of feeling unworthy, unwanted

Striving for healing and failing, for trust and letting go
