I fear heartbreaks,
I get scared of big dreams.

I shiver at the thought of a romance,
I don’t have the strength to permit myself a second chance.

I struggle to dissolve old pains,
My astray emotions make me go insane.

There is so much baggage that I must carry,
my breath feels shallow & weary.
I am miserable at letting go, yet everything keeps slipping through my fingers.

My palms can’t even grasp a hand,
I keep sliding into self-created chasms of confusion and mental scams.
