I Am Afraid

because i am afraid
to really say what i feel about
what i love
because my sun cannot fully shine
on the rainy day
because the clouds do not disperse
with the light of my moon
because the waves of the sea
do not cease to bump
the rocks of my shore
because i cannot hurt with honesty
those that cause me pain
because the dog still barks
at the wrong tree
that is why my dear
i still write poetry
