Unsure and frustrated

Confusion created

What path do I lead?

Why do I let little things bother me?

A prayer and a plead

A plant where once was a seed

It keeps on growing and growing

But in the end, never knowing

The what ifs trouble my mind

Reaching, haunting what they can find

“Stay back” is my plea

“Go away and never bother me”

-

I don’t want to hurt you

Can’t get too close

It hurts to love another

Or so the saying goes

-

They glance at me

But can they see?

They hear my voice with closed ears

I don’t think they know I’m here

Can they see the child inside?

The one with tears in her eyes?
