All Or Nothing Poem by Ms. JStar

You don’t really want to hear
The words that caused my tears
Or know the reason my heart aches
My emotions you don’t want to partake
My fears and doubts you don’t care to ease
Once that door is closed, barricading is my expertise
I can’t lock away only half of my heart
This will cause no more feelings to depart
Now I will keep all within
Things will never again be like they’ve been
If I can no longer release
Denying a part of me just to appease
Accept me for me
This is my final plea
Or it’s leading to our downfall
It’s all or nothing at all
