This Is I
Guilt engulfs me.
Every step, I fear.
I am not innocent.
I am Deception.
I fear trust, responsibility
I fear love
such fragile things
for my soul to handle.
My heart has gashes
my life, callouses.
I haven’t learned the lesson
So, I fear being a person.
Instead of coming out stronger
I ended up weaker.
Things that used to be normal
Is now something aberrant.
I am a person
who is afraid of being like this,
of being treated like this,
of being loved like this.
I deserve none
yet you offer many.
I am nothing
yet you see me in everything.
