avoidant
that’s what they
call it
the truth
is that i’m terrified
scared
out of my wits
afraid
of the horrors
that await
in the unknown
abyss
of uncertainty
where all of my dreams
go to die
the term
“avoidant”
to me
implies
willfulness
the only thing
i so desperately wish
to avoid
is this
Max, or Not 
This is an essential piece. Thank you for sharing.

Is this you? Because I too write poetry, mine comes from something emotional in my life. There is something you are afraid of committing yourself to? It can be scary but what do you have if you don’t?

Poignant, bare and raw. This is the most stripped down I have ever seen your writing.
