I'm so afraid of your rejection.

For fear of my regression.

Wait! Hush. Just give me a second.

Don't mistake my explanations for aggression.

My mind is overthinking.

Get to know me, I know I'm overflowing, maybe I'm over showing, I know I'm oversharing.

Shut up self. Ugh you can be so overcaring.

This is the fight with myself.

Know that I've been up on many a man's shelf and all these years I keep on trying to heal myself. 

Always interrupted and the feeling of losing my soul.

And it's really taken its toll...
