Fear of Confrontation

My fear of confrontation,

Stops me in my tracks.

I freeze, seize up, retreat,

To afraid of a possible attack.

Thousand of words that have been left unsaid,

Piling up onto of one another inside me.

For fear of releasing them, of speaking my truth

For Heaven for bid I ever disagree.

It hurts to have an opinion,

And my chest begins to ache.

I can’t possibly share my thoughts,

My legs begin to shake.

Even with those I love,

That I hold so close to me heart

I can not possibly have a fight

It will inevitably tear us apart.

Honesty terrifies me,

Certain that I am wrong.

Anger is my fear,

Always easier to just go along.

It’s hard to even know myself

Have no idea where I stand.

Numb it, avoid it, and ignore it

Silence my voice, put down my hand.
