Afraid of intimacy
I can’t expose my heart
To you
You haven’t been kind to it
You want me to keep it hidden
Locked away
My feelings are too explosive
They challenge the status quo
You don’t want to hear
You hurt me
An existence apart
Emotionally
Insulated heart
Ticking time bomb
It was a matter of when not if

I love this. Expressing so much hurt and pain underneath the bravado and determination to remain strong. š

Raw and emotional, yet true and genuine. The ending signals positive hope because we are not in control of when . . . God is.
