Afraid Afraid My biggest fear is pain So every time It approaches me I refrain And abstain Happily settling for just Being Plain Jane No worries, no doubts Nothing No running, but still Hiding from everything Afraid To touch love or even happiness Cause the aftermath always Stings and the pain it brings Is frightening Straight jolt down my heart Like lightening And I hate reminiscing Thinking about what could have been Now I'm Sitting in the mess I made When I was free and brave And I'm just Afraid To trust again I run from my heart But it pulls back Forcing me to Feel All these wounds and scars It refuses to heal Because I continue to conceal Emotion Deep within Afraid Of the pain he could reveal Like an onion he peels Layer after layer of All the skins I haven't shed Like a book I've been read Now he knows Which path will he choose to go Cause he can manipulate Whilst we date And create Bait, for me to Postulate Or Take the pain And make me better Put the broken pieces of my heart Back together So I can love again Without fear of pain Without being Afraid
