To Be Honest

Atticus & Podcast Nation
About this episode

To be honest
you scare me
I’m terrified of letting you in
of seeing myself
more clearly through your eyes
wondering if I’m good enough
or if one day I’ll lose you
but the truth is
not having you at all
scares me more
than all the other
truths of love
and that thought
makes me brave.
