Late Night Thoughts

I’m afraid…

I’m afraid you’ve taken the best parts of me, and dimmed my shine.

I’m afraid to feel anything but the pain you have caused me.

I’m afraid to see you face again one day, why are you doing this to me? You and I both know you did this.

I’m afraid that one day when someone decides I’m worth it, I’ll never believe them because you told me I’m nothing.

I’m afraid that I’m losing myself, who am I, I am not okay.

I’m afraid to move forward because eventually we have to go back.

I’m afraid to answer my phone, being called names, believing every stab.

I’m afraid to tell strangers my truth, why did you bring in strangers.

I’m afraid that one day this will kill me, like you wanted to.

I’m afraid to be me.

I am afraid.

We all have chapters of our lives that we may want to re create, change, and start again. We cannot change our past chapters, but we can re create how we start the next.
