Me, Myself, and I - Alyson Lamb

I guess you're right.

I'm afraid to put my guard down.

I'm afraid that if you know all that I am, you won't feel the same way.

I'm afraid that once my barrier is down,

And I get comfortable

And happy,

You'll walk away.

My fears will be realized.

That my happiness comes with a price because,

I'm not worth it.

I don't deserve it.

All I am, all I will ever be, is sad and alone.

Without love.  Joy.

Forever in despair.
