Afraid To Be | Original Poem

I'm afraid to close my eyes. 

Afraid of what I might see. 

Afraid that all I've been running from is now inside of me. 

Living an empty life, 

with shattered hopes and busted dreams. 

Questioning everything. 

I don't know how to say the things on my mind or in my heart. 

I'm getting worried 

that I'll always be left out in the dark. 

I whisper, but no one's there to hear. 

I cry, but no one's there to see. 

Maybe it's all in my twisted dream.
