Almost

Almost said it
Almost relieved the weight from my chest
Just chickened out at the last moment
Controlled by fear again

Just want to tell you
Let you know the truth
Not awkward, no judgements
Not on my end

But you'll change the way you treat me
The way you talk to me
And I'm scared of change
Of being 'outside'

Because already I'm different
Although you're unaware
But once I say it I don't have control
I'm nagged by small, unwavering fears

I almost said it
And released the weight from my chest
But I was scared deep down inside
And held my tongue, masking a smile
