Scaredy Cat.

I'm afraid to love. To commit to one person and have them know everything about me. My strengths and weaknesses, in all my glory. I'm afraid to love so deeply I don't know what to do with myself. So deeply my heart is sore and my soul is pulsing with energy. I'm afraid to love and let my walls down. I'm afraid to let them into my world with the possibility of it all crumbling down around me. I'm afraid I will be too fragile. But mostly I'm afraid no one will love me how I deserve. I am so afraid.

About the Creator

emily mya

Writing has always been an escape for me. Something I use as therapy. Reading other's words make me feel less alone and part of a community. That is why I write, so other's don't feel alone and know that someone feels the exact same.
