I just want to be someone who gives comfort,
but becomes misunderstood of being interested
I just want to tell them how special they are,
without a hint of malice or doubt
I just want to become a listener for them to feel,
that there is someone who’ll listen,
and share and make it less of a burden
I just want to meet people genuinely,
to heal the broken trust of socializing,
and change the perspective of the inculcated fear
I just want to feel loved by a person who knows,
the history of my wounds that raised these walls,
which became difficult to tear apart
I just want to be ordinary and responsive,
but fail to reciprocate because the trust innate in me
is slowly fading
I just want to, but fail to. But I just want to, try too.
