Chapter 52

Not Complicated

It is not complicated
It is simply fear
Fear of rejection
Love causes many a tear

For we never feel equal
We never feel we are a peer
Rejection cuts so deep
Even the slightest sneer

When Cupid shoots his arrow
He misses the one we hold dear
He laughs as into our heart
He shoves then twists a spear

The fear of rejection grips us
Crushing our minds tiny sphere
Is it ever what is inside of us
Or only to use our veneer

To the one we love
We try to make their heart steer
As they see the direction is us
Away from us they violently veer

It is not complicated
As it seems to appear
It is fear of rejection
It is simply fear of fear

Nobody
