I want to

I want to be me,
without all the lies.
But fear of being vulnerable,
makes me paralyzed

I want to show the world,
how I have changed my ways.
The times of trial and error,
those are long gone days.

I want to be with you,
be a good man.
Just give me one chance,
I’ll prove to you I can.

I want to love unquestioningly,
without fear of regret.
But I keep questioning myself,
am I capable of that.

I want to express my true self,
show the world who I am.
Maybe it’s just too hard,
if you consider yourself to be damned.

I want to stop writing,
there has to be another way.
Yet I always return to this,
locking my feelings away.
