Trepidation

Trepidation

A Poem by Shelby
"

Wrote this about a boy I've been trippin' over for months.

"

Maybe I overthink too much

Possibly it’s the anxiety inside of me

Cause every time I get close to your touch

I give up, and that we can agree

 

A constant fear of false rejection

Thoughts can’t form into words that’ll roll off my tongue

These relationships I’ve built were made on imperfections

This fear feels like fire in my lungs

 

One-sided feelings

An unsteady feeling stuck in my chest

Is this how we’re meant to be, as human beings?

It feels like these feelings will never go to rest

 

Even though all these problems arose

Obtaining you is like chasing rainbows
