Too Afraid To Live

the mask that wore a face
is gone in death
too often was dead in life

a mask in life
too afraid to live
too afraid to feel

afraid to reach out in affection
due to fear of possible rejection
not to try is phobia poor resolution

what is best test answer solution...
a kindness compassionate revolution...
love undeserved a divine institution...

to not reach out in genuine affection...
due to fear of face slap rejection...
not to try is a coward’s poor resolution...
