love could be around the corner from me and i wont lie i am petrified. he’s considerate and sweet kind and he listens when i speak. he’s good looking and back in high school a good friend. I look different now. not just gained the 30 grown up pounds different either. I grew nice inside When I was teenaged I grew a caul over my heart made from the ache of loneliness I admit I knew I was somewhat pretty Definitely sexy with full woman-sized breasts And a near-perfect ass And I used this so-called beauty to wound. Stripped of that weapon, though temporarily I am lost at how to walk through the world Socially regressed Hermetically sealed in the safety of solitude And yet Somehow love could be around the corner from me ready to envelop me in a better, softer hold I wonder if I should… I wonder if I’m able… Guess the only way to find out Is to swing around that bend Meet back with my friend Begin this bewildering dance Again
