Poetry – I’m down

I’m down, broken and beaten.
I’m down, alive and hopeful.
I’m down, thinking about next step to beat you.
I’m down, taking my time.
I’m down, the umpire starts to count.
I’m down, beaten but not loss.

Love Letter without Receiver(0)

I am afraid to ask you out for you might reject.
I am afraid to hold your hand for you might go away.
I am afraid to tell you my feeling for you might laugh at me.
I am afraid I don’t love you at all,
for a love based on fear might not be love at all.
