Fear Of Rejection

My chest tenses
As i try to speak.

I'm lost for words
And i become weak.

My breathe speeds up
My heart rate increases.

I'm waiting for the words
that will leave me in pieces.

And this always happens
My fear shows it's presence.

I speak but i stutter
I'm lost in your essence.

I'm thinking of ways
to show my effection.

But then it shines through
My fear of rejection.
