Leo Mbalamana Poet I do not know?

I Am Scared But Not Afraid

I have to open up more and let people in
I realized not everyone
I associate with has plans of hurting me
Some people are only simply interested in dialogue 
But I have been hurt so many times I am insecure 
About even thinking of trusting anyone at this stage
I decided to lock all my feelings in a cage
Overwhelmed by emotions and rage
It is eventually going to be difficult to turn this page
Deep down I know I have to one day l
Let someone in because being alone 
In this cold world is harsh to oneself
