Afraid Poem by Alicia Meyers

I'm tired of running,
Tired of crying,
I am so afraid -
Of loving.
I feel like,
If I love you,
You will hurt me,
And I'll be broken forever.
I'm afriad that you'll hate me,
That you'll go behind my back,
I don't want to take chances,
So I'm staying single.
I'm afraid of loving you,
In every way,
I just don't want to,
Get hurt.
I'm tired of running away,
I'm tired of not being in love,
I hope that one day,
He'll come from up above.
