Holding Back

Holding back
Letting in
Strangers walk

Counter-clock.


How can I keep this in?
I don't even know.
Who are you to tell
Me to what to do?


Who are you to make me give up?
To make me feel less than who I am?
How can I trust you...
When you don't even trust me?


How can I love you...
When you don't love me?
I'm knocking on your door.
So let me in.


Before it's too late
and I walk away
Forever,
to never turn back.
