​I Wish I Could Outfear My Fear

​Not loving someone as much as you want to, Not showing affection as much as you desire to— ​Not opening up, Not getting close, Not sharing, talking... Not reaching out As much as you want to do. ​Rather avoiding, isolating yourself, Limiting your conversations, actions, desires... ​Rather building up walls— walls as high as a mountain, a tower... Closing the doors— ​Saying less, Acting less, Doing less, Being less— ​Because you don't want to— enrage others, make them jealous, get misunderstood... ​So you just limit yourself— keeping your hands in your pockets, keeping your feet together, your thoughts to yourself, your wants and desires deep inside— ​Deep inside where no one can reach. Deep inside where nobody can find. ​And you just go on with your day, ​Having the thought that you— you might regret it later— Having the thought that you— ​You should stand your ground, You should stay true to yourself, You should do what you want— be what you want, act the way you want, ​Love and show your love, affections, how you want with nothing holding you back... with nothing limiting you from reaching up— ​Yet you end up doing nothing. Fear holding you back.
