Fearful
Fearful of taking the leap;
Fleeing an alleged stability
Wonder struck – can my devotion be so deep?
Resigned to a prevention of ability
Escape this captured state?
Scared of rejection
Cowering from the pain you may aggravate
Not understanding the complexion
Perchance I have been conditioned
To accept and commit;
Wronged into position
Ashamed at wanting to quit
I’ve taken the easy option
Remaining on a rocking vessel
Preceding with caution
Emotions all a wrestle
He blows hot and cold
Insulting words then beautiful flowers;
I know it’s wrong to be controlled
But charm empowers
I’m a ship aground;
A story untold
A pulling tide restrained to the sand
A flower unable to unfold
I’m a boat marooned;
You’re young and yet to settle
You’ve chosen a rose that cannot bloom -
a bird entangled in nettles
