My fears are an open book their so easy to see, but others just overlook.

I do not fear war, but peace.

I do not fear death, but life.

I do not fear tears, but laughter

I do not fear ugliness, but beauty.

I do not fear sadness, but happiness.

I do not fear lies, but honesty.

I do not fear being right, but proven wrong.

I do not fear being hit, but touches of tenderness and love.

I do not fear sex, but being intimate or making love.

I do not fear one nite stands, but being with someone for something more.

I do not fear nor question the bad, but the good.

I do not fear being alone, but someone being there when I wake up.

I do not fear being raped, but for someone to stop when I say no.

I do not fear of losing, but of winning.

I do not fear failure, but of success.

I do not fear a man who's abusive, but those who are caring.

I do not fear when someone leaves, but when they stay.

I do not fear after the deed is done he rolls away, but when he pulls me closer as if he'll never let go.

I do not fear of losing you, but keepin you.

I do not fear when you want to shut me out, but invite me in.

I do not fear when you lie to me, but when you stand by your word.

I do not fear when you dont answer my calls, but when you pick up.

I do not fear when you ignore me, but when you listen.

I do not fear when you yell at me, but when you use such tenderness and sincerity.

I do not fear when you call me your bitch or whore, but when you call me your baby.

I do not fear giving pleasure to you, but when you do the same for me.

I do not fear you when you walk away and leave me, but if you stayed.

I do not fear of you cheating, but you being faithful.

I do not fear of crying in front of you, but of you wiping away my tears.

I do not fear of you breaking my heart apart, but of you placing it back together.

I do not fear of being your latest conquest, but of you saying things will be different this time.

But most of all I do not fear of you not understanding me, but when you can read me like an open book!

the sentiments are praiseworthy

It's easier to be left behind than it is to leave, also. I adore this clearly sincere attempt to investigate what makes the neurotic tick (yes, I'm one, so leave it to me to read the piece that way). The L1 typo hurts the read a lot, as does the spacing, and I would say it could be cut by maybe a third ... these are all part of the same whole expression, so the 35 lines get to be a bit much. Also, the say no/rape line seems out of place. Regardless, this is worthy for its intent even if the execution is rough. Thanks for the read.
