I Need To Understand

Every day I discover something new about myself.
I get to know myself more and more.
Because I don't understand who I am or what I feel.
This is why I started this collection of poems.
I need to understand what I feel.
And only can I do that through words.
Today, what I've discovered is,
My worst enemy is fear.

I've always considered myself a brave soul, but with me feeling these strong emotions for him, I've realized that I may not be as brave as I originally thought.

My heart is afraid, not my mind.

I am afraid to trust,
I am afraid to love,
I am afraid to feel,
I'm afraid of honesty,
I'm afraid of abandonment.

And many more that I am still discovering as I fall further in love.

I am so afraid that he will leave me.

Afraid that one day he will decide I am not good enough for him anymore.

I like to say I am brave. But I am a coward, a coward to commitment?

When you are not nurtured as a child, little things tear you apart.

Things as simple as when he doesn't kiss you,
Or when you don't receive a text back right away.

I continue to try and understand myself.

I need to know.
