But you don't know I am stuck.
I find it hard to communicate with you.
I am shy around you.
I fear that if I like you; you mightn't like me.
You might laugh at me.
Sometimes this fear is so large, that I feel you can read my thoughts.
My thoughts are with me in quicksand.

this god-forsaken bedroom
and my mind
goes through several scenarios
of what it\
