Fears Poem by Kim Jones

I fear my trust
Whether it be trust in others
or others trusting me
For I am not to trust
Or be trusted.

You want proof?
Well I have no need to prove it;
for it is already proven,
If you look hard enough,
You will see the reason;
This reason is enough to keep them all away,
My heart has hardened into diamond,
You can cut it with only diamonds
And it cannot be melted.

The problem with this:
I am more fragile on the inside than I would care to admit,
And my scars, instead of help me,
would rather hinder,
for they open every day,
And I have to heal them before they become infected
The virus of infection is ever near,
this infection is fear;
for I fear that my heart will open,
And everyone will see
All that I've hidden in the shadowy depths of my secret sanctuaries.
