Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

I’m a little bit scared

I’m a little bit scared

Of falling in love

Of not being able or capable to love

Of taking chances 

Of who I might me

I don’t know how much more

I can give or go through

 

I’m a little bit scared

I was so very satisfied you see

I never meant for it to develop so rapidly

When I’m up there on a pedestal 

No one understands how much I give

Or knows how it all affects me

But now they all want more

 

I’m a little bit scared

Of not knowing how long

I can keep up this masquerade

It’s like someone trying to emulate me

And exist inside my own skin

I have no dominion anymore

It all feels so incorrect but

No need to be afraid you say

So that’s that, panic over

But I’m still a little bit scared

Thanks once again Keith, yes I do relate to the words, which were once again inspired by Ian Curtis, who’s biography I was reading at the time. Unfortunately he took his own life at 23, and part of that was having to be someone he didn’t really want to be.

Good Morning Fred,

Thank you for this poem as it clearly comes from your inner self. You espouse what many feel who spend a good part of their lives meeting up to the expectations of others. A good piece of work. Keith
