Im Not Perfect

I’m not perfect 
I’m far from it 
I make mistakes 
And when I’m near defeat I give up and run from it 
Afraid to fall in love for fear of losing it 
My emotions are what I’m losing to 
And myself is who I’m losing with 
Afraid to get up
For fear I may fall 
Fear I may fall so I don’t get up
I’m stuck 
Within myself 
Too scared to defend myself 
Too proud to ask for help 
So I melt
No one to blame but myself 
              D.Christian
