Brenda Chiri Poet Rhyme

I Fear

My greatest fear is, I must say
Not sounding frightening, that's ok
letting my guard down, letting someone in
I can't allow the hurt, over and over again
To me it's a great unpredictable concern
Thinking after a few times, I would learn
Keeping my guard up, is safe I have found
Not letting in anything, not even a sound
It isn't the best way to handle it though
That in itself, will not allow me to grow
So how do I meet it, at least halfway
All options I find I myself must weigh 
How do I keep myself from yet another fall
And still keep my head up standing tall
I fear the fear, of just falling it seems
I fear of not fulfilling, all of my dreams
If only I was able to give someone my heart
Without having, completely torn apart

Andrea Dietrich September 25, 2019 at 2:58 PM Hope I got that right. Was not sure if you meant with all people or just with a special someone! Brenda Chiri September 26, 2019 at 1:44 PM Lol your fine Andrea! It could be anyone!;)

Andrea Dietrich September 25, 2019 at 2:57 PM that is a sad fear, Brenda. I wear my heart on my sleeve, though I am not all that demonstrative. I never had to face being without a partner. My husband and I were just young'uns when we married, so I have not had to worry about this concern you have. It must be difficult! As for friends, I hope you can learn to let your guard down with the good ones you have! Brenda Chiri September 26, 2019 at 1:43 PM I do too Andrea but with age comes holding aback! Guess I'm lucky this is just a poem! Thank you so much!;)
