"To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death."
— Taylor Swift

The walls are closing in on me. I can feel myself slipping
Away. Just stop and see what it’s doing to me. I’m not
What I used to be. Things have changed, and it’s all
Because of you. You did what you wanted, didn’t
Care what it did to me, not a single apology. I
Can feel the walls you built closing in on
Me. But I still, I still, can’t let you go.

The author's comments:
This piece is about losing yourself, feeling yourself slip away, because the one you love did something really selfish, without considering what it might do to you.
