Scary

there are
scary words
I’m afraid I will
and will not hear
some I run away from
a few
might draw me near

from letters
that form words
should I run
or hug
sounds close to
need and love
words that seem to
pull and tug

they give me
shutters
I wish they
gave me chills
there is an echo
in my heart
I’m so afraid
to feel

yes, it is true
I’m afraid
of this push and pull
my wall is getting
oh so high
the brick pile
is so full

1slick_lady - you write many thoughts, all with feelings.

yes, it is true
I’m afraid
of this push and pull
my wall is getting
oh so high
the brick pile
is so full

true it may be
afraid tis thee
tearing at the heart
bricks high inside
but they will
come down
time will heal
wait and see

ya know, from what I read here in the time I get to spend here, it
seems no one is afraid to type anything!  I've never read so many
open feelings or love,hate, joy, fear.....it's like an open sore
wanting to heal, guess that's called poetry huh?
