Aretha Williams Poet I do not know?

Afraid of Losing What I Don'T

I can’t seem to cry (oh oh oh)
My feelings are absorbed because of my fear
Unable to feel or express what I want to feel
I wander like a refugee
 at once upon a time I was able to control me
Now everything is out of my hands 
Who knows who/what goes on inside of a heart that does not feel
A mind that does not think
Eyes that don’t see clearly and ears that only hear the contrary
Where did I go
My love, my smile
My reason for being
Everything and everyone doesn’t seem to mean as much as they did in the past
I’m afraid to love or trust again 
Because the things I once trusted turned against me
Paper sits there blank
My thoughtless mind is unable to display anything
My weary fingers cannot write, not even what I want to feel or think
I walk away from manner ignoring what I really want because I’m afraid of losing 
what I don’t
