The Fear

We don’t want much,
Just a conversation,
Someone to understand us,
And some attention.

What’s shocking,
Is never initiating,
Never being the one to give.
Afraid of the assumed truth.

The fear we’re not important,
The fear we’ll irritate,
The fear we’re not wanted,
The fear we’re not needed,
The fear of loneliness,
The fear of expectations,
The fear of pride,
The fear we’re not alone
And that we’ll never know.
