Revelation

Revelation

I'd like to give and take everything equally,
Balance the scales,
Be fair.

And maybe,
Just maybe,
That's why I'm scared of loving people,
When people give more than I can,
I don't think it's fair to them,
That I take,
And take,
And give nothing in return.
In the end,
I peg myself as someone who shouldn't be allowed to love,
I hurt,
And fight,
And build walls,
So people are safe,
So I'm safe.

I think this is a blessing,
But I'm slowly drowning,
In my perceived mercy.

Why do I still choose to stay in the ocean,
When I neither know how to swim,
Nor do I want to drown.
