In my mind I imagine people's lives as a golden, shimmering beam of light going on forever into the eternal darkness where (in galactic years) some lines cross mine for a few seconds, most parallel unheard of my existence and some that crossed mine but wished they hadn't and bent so far away that I will never bestow my light upon them and they upon me.

Patterns

Love scares the shit out of me You have to wear your heart on the sleeve Show all your weakness Show you true self All the what ifs freak me out

Someone else holds the power to your heart What if They use it, steal it, lose it, break it, crush it And I can't handle it

You have to be vulnerable What if They stab you, leave you, hate you, laugh at you, use it against you And I don't want my vulnerability to be used

And So I have a pattern I always try to leave before I get left I always look for red signs Or Something Something to tell me I should let go Something to tell me I'm right To leave them bleeding To hurt them To break them To blame them

Oh Fuck me! Why can't I for once love somebody?Without it being hanging on a thread all the time? What is wrong with me? When will i allow someone to make me feel alive By loving me or hurting me Why am I so fucking scared of all this? What is holding me back? Oh God Help me!

~ Mitashi

I wrote this about the fear of opening the door to you heart in order to love someone with all of you.
