Lonilness is the isolation I recieve

from my mother who rarely shows love

from siblings who leave whenever they please

from family abandoning family

Fear to me is

the closeness men get to me as they 

take whatever they want and leave 

behind nothing but a broken girl

Fear to me is

never moving forward 

out of the depression that encases my heart daily

the anxiety that never seems to leave my head

My own thouhgts turn to lightning 

striking my soul, heart, and mind

crashing against the bars of the cages

made to keep everything locked inside

Fear encases my heart

Fear takes away my ability to feel

Fear takes away my ability to breath 

But I don't let the fear control me.
