Fear of Failing

Every morning, I wake with a lot on my mind,

Bothered about the future, what it might find.

Fixed at a spot, torn between giving in or giving up,

Pressures surround, from right, left, and the center's cup.

Everyone seems to count on me, from every direction,

Scared of failing, failing to meet their affection.

No one ever warned, adulthood's price to pay,

The burden of expectations, looming every day.

Reminiscing From a Heart Break

I thought I had moved on from you,

But just hearing your voice on the phone brought back memories and emotions anew.

After 3 years of parting ways, I thought I would have moved on by now,

Yet here I am, wide awake, unable to sleep somehow.

Every time I catch a glimpse of you, my heart still beats,

I can't explain this strange feeling, this cycle that repeats.

Hoping you'll say hi, I can't stop going through your profile,

But perhaps you've moved on, while I'm still stuck in denial.

It's crazy to realize I still love you, despite the hurt and pain,

But I believe someday, this phase will pass, and I'll regain.

You made me lose trust and fear being loved,

Driving away those who choose to, a lesson tough to be shoved.

You broke me and made me feel foolish for loving you,

How do I move on with scars still fresh, this much is true.

I was foolish to give you my fragile heart,

Now I need healing, for I fear love's every part.

Because of you, I now view women with toxicity,

Seeing every one as capable of causing me such a calamity.

I regret ever responding to your messages, calls, or voice notes,

Listening to friends' advice to give you a chance, now a boat that floats.

If only I hadn't given you my number when you asked,

I might have been spared from this heartache that masked.

Never would I have met you, a better version of me might have been,

Free from the darkness of anxiety and depression, from the tears unseen.

And yet here I am, grappling with hurt and betrayal,

Still struggling to find myself, in a world so surreal.

Scared that I may never find love again, never get married,

Given up on love, in a sea of fears and worries buried.
