She looks into my eyes as I try to avoid hers
As I do so, she says: "Why do you always do that?"
I try to answer her yet nothing comes to my mind
Seeing that I had no answer, she continues on by saying:
"I really do not know you at all,
Why do you hide and run away all the time?"
Again, I have no answer to that question.
Sensing that I had no answer,
She gave a sigh and said: "Never mind"
But I knew that it still weighed heavily in her mind
What am I running from?
What am I afraid of?
These are the questions that would plague me for the rest of my life.
In the end, even I do not know myself.
Perhaps that's just me.
Past failures have scarred me
It has made me afraid to try,
Fear of failure.
Fear of being hurt again is what stops me from even trying.
Even though there's so many things that I want to say,
But I just can't say it for fear of failing.
What would have been were not to be just because I failed to act.
