A Poem Story Written by Vivian Ennis 02/23/1996
This is the story of a boy who then became a man
while in his struggle to grow up
that's where his fears began
But the pain of past years
Brought denial of his fears
But as his life continues on
one day real love came along
Then his fears grew very strong
as the days grew very long
He was afraid there was no one he could tell
so instead of sharing he lived in his own hell
In the presence of a woman
who loved him at last
He put on a mask
covering up his past
But in his denial the fear began to grow
the woman could see through it clearly though
it hurt her as he kept making her go
in his denial the relationship could not grow
If he admitted he needed her now
Then his fears in life would be found out
so instead of truth out of fear of trust
he begins to manipulate he feels It’s a must
