Single

To be single
To be free…
Life was easier for me…
No one to tap into my insecurities…
No one’s problems,
No one’s baggage
Being piled on me.
No worries,
About this girl or that one,
No feeling that need to keep my hair done,
No wondering about what may be going on,
No worries!
Because when you’re single…
YOU are the ONE.
In love,
You tend to go dumb,
And you always to have to bite your tongue…
You lose sleep
And can’t steady your heartbeat,
Simply become undone,
All because you gave up your freedom,
For a small CHANCE at love.
Sometimes it works,
But often times it’s temporary,
Sometimes it’s good,
Sometimes bad,
But honestly it varies…
An emotional ride,
But for me,
Roller coasters are too scary.
Do I face my fear,
Or just run?
Do I really want to take on all of this Head On?
I know the sun shines after every storm…
Fears keeping me paralyzed ,
So afraid to open my heart and move on.
So I hide behind my guise,
Play it cool
Knowing deep down inside
I’m terrified…
The one thing protecting me is all of my pride,
It’s too much to let someone see all of me inside.
