Analysis of Thoughts



So many questions, so many thoughts,
But the courage to ask you, I haven't the guts,
How will you react, what will you say?
I want so much for you to go, but so much for you to stay,
Afraid of your reactions, afraid of your words,
My heart aches inside, it really hurts,
Somehow I have to find it inside me, the courage to ask the questions that are bothering me,
So please dont blow up, dont go insane,
When I finally ask the questions that are racking my brain.
