What being afraid means

Come against me

the cold rush of the world

Be gentle for I am easily shattered

Fear that imprints on the eyes

 

 

Come beat me

words of a thousand sounds

be gentle for these brusies can't go easily

as they came without a thought

 

Let me be

trapped in my corner

be gentle for I am not easily fooled

at least not anymore

 

Let this be

a lesson in time

Be gentle for my soul shattered

not so long ago and I can't pick up the pieces

 

Change this way

Be gentle so I can be alive again

where the sun doesn't seem so threatening

 

Change my mind

let me heal in this darkness

Be gentle towards the incoming thoughts

because I won't be the one to say goodbye

 

Look into my eyes to see

what makes me afraid

cold, lost and alone

something I already know

but its you, its them, its everyone

everyone who did this to me

 

Look into my eyes to see

what always haunts me

I can't trust, can't feel

and now I don't know

if I can ever feel safe once more

This is beautiful, Oceans... Haunting as well, makes me question who I can truly trust in my life anymore. And the repetition of the first lines to each stanza make the piece come to life. Wonderful write :)
