Soulmate?

I wrote this short poem when I needed to let some of my feelings out. It is nothing too deep, but about how I felt back then. I always felt a bit afraid to love as I never knew how to show it, but now it's changed, and I feel like some people can relate to how I was feeling too.

I like to believe there’s someone out there looking for me

Desperately wanting to get to know me

see what type of person I am

Part of me thinks I can love them back

But I’m afraid

I don’t want to hurt them.

I'm like a bee ready to find its honey but ready to pull out its sting to ward off any danger in its way.

Perhaps a dog is chewing on its bone as it's probably their last meal for the week, ready to lunge at anyone trying to remove their bone.

Hurting them is something I wish would never happen

You see, that’s why I’m waiting

Until I’m better, better than I was before

But as for right now

I’m here alone with my thoughts, trying to figure out what I can do good for myself.

and that's ok, I don't have to have everything figured out right now. For now, I wait and live how I want to live.
