hesitation at its finest

by Olivia Weinkein

the possibilities of this ever working out
are beginning to bleed.

what if i am not as real as you seem to think.
most days, i believe in you.

it's just that i don't believe in me. i don't trust
who i am enough to ever take the steps needed
to close in the gap. i am so afraid of what's going
to happen and yes, i hear you. i hear you.

everything will be fine if i just give it a chance to be.

but don't you see, i have before, so many times
before so pardon the cliche' but i can honestly say...

it isn't you
it's me.

Sometimes people really don't understand that last couple of lines. They always think that is something they have done. Great concept excellently portrayed in verse. Thanks for sharing.
