Done

Fear of rejection, fear of joy;
Fear of disappointment, fear of a boy.
Living in the shadows, blending with the background,
Looking at you from behind a corner, hoping not to be found.
It’s then I think of your face, a guy I thought was perfect,
Who I’d personally thought I’d be with, the one and only I would wed.

But you broke my heart, and stomped it to the ground,
It was then I lost my voice, scared to make any sound.
It was then I lost myself, thought never to come back,
Felt like my life was going under, I was all off-track.
Slowly and slowly, I can feel myself return,
Having more to say, having more to learn.

But as I watch you, from that wretched corner,
Makes me hope, that I find myself sooner.
So much more to say, so much more to do,
How could I let a fool rule me, like you do?
No longer will you own me, no longer will I run,
I’ll Stand up to my fears, my days of running are done.

*Never let someone rule your life after you have gotten hurt. By giving in you let them win. Please listen, learning from experience is not a thing you want to do.
