Fragile

So work was slow enough yesterday that I started to write.  It doesn't rhyme all the time but it expresses my mind set and why it is so hard for me to take chances and make changes.

Fragile

Born a petite baby girl
Even my name is breakable
Treated as precious glass
The fear of breaking lives in me

Be careful you'll get hurt
Be careful you might brake
Be careful you can't handle too much
Be careful you're fragile

As I grew so did my strengths
My confidence, my dreams
And the desire to spread my wings
yet for my protection, I am held back

The weight of the risks are to heavy
They always outweighed the rewards
Strengths, confidence, dreams start to fade
My potential is now safely locked away

Now a wife & mother, I am grown
I find the risks always to heavy
These thoughts have now become my own
because I am fragile, afraid to break

Fear of breaking has spread deep
It has developed into multiple forms
It effects my days, nights & sleep
Always afraid of what might cause me harm

The person I am is NOT who I was created to be
But what if I fail, what if I break


Still working on the rest of it. I want to end it with a way to overcome it but I am not sure I can truly write the rest until I get past this. I sent it to my BFF & had DH read it. DH said it was very well written and sad.  I told him it is just to truth not a sad story and the fact that it is the truth is why he says it is sad.  My BFF says I am just like Elsa from Frozen and I need to "Let it go" LOL!
