I Fear

My greatest fear is, I must say
Not sounding frightening, that's ok
letting my guard down, letting someone in
I can't allow the hurt, over and over again
To me it's a great unpredictable concern
Thinking after a few times, I would learn
Keeping my guard up, is safe I have found
Not letting in anything, not even a sound
It isn't the best way to handle it though
That in itself, will not allow me to grow
So how do I meet it, at least halfway
All options I find I myself must weigh 
How do I keep myself from yet another fall
And still keep my head up standing tall
I fear the fear, of just falling it seems
I fear of not fulfilling, all of my dreams
If only I was able to give someone my heart
Without having, completely torn apart

Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/25/2019 2:57:00 PM that is a sad fear, Brenda. I wear my heart on my sleeve, though I am not all that demonstrative. I never had to face being without a partner. My husband and I were just young'uns when we married, so I have not had to worry about this concern you have. It must be difficult! As for friends, I hope you can learn to let your guard down with the good ones you have! Login to Reply Brenda Chiri Date: 9/26/2019 1:43:00 PM I do too Andrea but with age comes holding aback! Guess I'm lucky this is just a poem! Thank you so much!;)
