The Fear Of The Fall

Nov 4th, 2024

I'm scared
But not scared of you hurting me
I'm scared of me hurting myself
Just as I've done
Again and again
Never learning my lesson
Never wanting to learn
Because I love so openly
Willing and care free
Not looking to see if someone will catch me
Just a hope that someone is there
Yet most of the time I land with a thud
Alone, no one around to help pick me back up
So when someone asks me to jump; I hesitate
Even when they say they will catch me
Because I am so used to the impact
I always assume I'll hit the ground
