Analysis of Blind and Afraid
Angela Crabtree 1982 (maine)
Blind and Afraid
I'm blind to what's in front of me. I'm a fool for being afraid to give u a chance. I'm afraid of what could be. I'm scared to let you see who I really am. I'm afraid if I give you my all I will fail. I'm afraid of true happiness. I'm afraid u won't love me if you really truly know who I am. I'm afraid if I fail you, you will leave me. I'm scared to let you beyond my armor. To let you inside my life and my chaos. I'm afraid to let you see my vulnerability. I'm afraid I won't be strong enough for you. That you may see me as being truly weak. I'm afraid you will see me as something I am not. To let my true light shine through is terrifying to me. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle me and my life. That you won't be able to understand how I feel when I'm feeling it. I look at things through a different light than most. I'm afraid you will fall in love with me and I won't be able to return it in the same way. I'm afraid I will do something so horrible you might never be able to forgive me and if I've let you in already I'm afraid it will kill me.
