What Do I Know? Poem by Maya Reid

You lift my spirits and you make me cry
All’s not fair in love and war
The clouds of my fears are blocking your light
This is one test I don’t have all the answers for

I’m searching for the answers
Do I even know how I feel?
I love him, but am I in love –
How can I know if what we have is real?

I know that I am conscious only of you
And that no one but you truly knows me
That you gave me the strength to be myself
But is this what love could be?

I know that you are everything to me
Except the one thing I really need
What scares me is, what if they’re right?
What if love at fifteen just can’t succeed

I’m trying to say that I’m feigning you
I’m afraid to share how I feel inside
But I want to know what we could be
And if my true feelings would be replied.
