Natasha Linnette Joubert Poet Free verse

Fear of Possibility

I don't know how to say this, 
but I am scared of you.
I am scared of the person I see 
and the person I don't see. 

The person I see is someone who
inspires me to breath a bit longer,
who might be to good to be true,  
the person who I want to impress,
the person that gives my life meaning. 

But when I dream about you, you are
a monster that chases me around my 
own maze, the person that wants to
hurt or use me. 

And when I speak to you my words
won't come out the way I want them to. 
Because the fear kills me that you might
be the person that I don't know or see. 
I fear you because I am afraid of the
 unknown, I am afraid of possibility.
