I’m hiding behind it and with it, I feel safe and in control.
But it is when I take this mask off that I feel fear take over.
The fear that I can’t conquer all that stands in my way.
The fear that that won’t allow me to love in the manner of which I know I am capable of.
For you see I am afraid of what the future may hold for me.
I don’t want to put my heart out on the line just for it to be stepped on and hurt.
I know you wouldn’t intentionally hurt me, but right now I’m not ready to take my chances.
I can give you a piece of my mind, but only if you promise not to corrupt it.
For it is just as precious as my heart.
It is open to new things, so pour knowledge, wisdom, and understanding into it, making me a better woman.
