I Never Said I Wasn'T Afraid Poem by Angel Jordan

I never said I wasn't afraid,
I always lied 'I'm not scared'.
My thoughtless debt repaid,
my careless mistake unaired.

I don't know why I say it;
I don't know why I lie.
Maybe it's the drama I want to quit,
Sometimes I just look to the sky.

The words unspoken,
the thoughts denied.
Sometimes you feel SO broken,
can you remember all the times you cried?

Why do we do this to ourselves?
Why not just try?
Something inside us dwells,
are we just afraid to cry?

Sometimes I look back,
just back upon that time.
Every now and then I see a memory crack,
why commit this treacherous crime?

I sometimes tell this lie,
And sometimes I give it a raid.
Sometimes just with a sigh,
I never said I wasn't afraid.
