Afraid Poems - Poems about Afraid

i see the way you smile at me, like you're reaching through the quiet. but every time i try to speak, my heart retreats in riot. i’m standing here with open hands, but haunted by the weight of plans. i don't want to break what hasn't even started yet. every heartbeat feels like walking on a thread. 'cause i'm afraid to make mistake, to say too...

You can stare at me with your big golden eyes or at least until you've come to finally realize that I'm not afraid of any outrageous superstitions and I don't need your cautionary admonitions. I'm not scared of breaking mirrors or of a black cat. It's foolishness I don't believe, and that's that! When a calendar says it's the thirteenth of...

Don't know why I couldn't fly When I had the wings and all, Don't know why I didn't try Was I much too afraid to fall Teetering on the bridge that day Arms outstretched, toes to the edge, Then again, who would jump anyway From such a treacherous ledge Looking down from an incredible height My last breath caught in...

I think of suicide like a lullaby I hum alone, a final note to silence the noise in my head that never rests. But I'm scared. I'm afraid of the rope, afraid of the pills, afraid of the fall— not just the pain, but the fact that I...

You'd never know Surely no one could tell I almost took my life ten months ago From the flames inside that burned a living hell Where demons dwell and angels ache to break free from below It mustn't show, the absent soul hidden within a counterfeit shell...

I wrote love letters for you, words I’m afraid to speak, My heart races, feeling alive, yet fear of rejection makes me hesitate. In the quiet of my soul, chaos fades when I gaze upon your captivating face, Tangled thoughts, words lost in the mist, the desire to unravel the heart's threads. I don’t wish to disturb your peaceful...
