This Is I

Guilt engulfs me. Every step, I fear. I am not innocent. I am Deception. I fear trust, responsibility I fear love such fragile things for my soul to handle. My heart has gashes my life, callouses. I haven’t learned the lesson So, I fear being a person. Instead of coming out stronger I ended up weaker. Things that used to be normal Is now something aberrant. I am a person who is afraid of being like this, of being treated like this, of being loved like this. I deserve none yet you offer many. I am nothing yet you see me in everything.
