Why do I always
Fight my desires?
Why should I,
If I fear not the fires?

Why don't I act
If the signs are clear
What holds me back?
What do I fear?

Do I fear rejection?
Though lucid is the path?
What if I'm wrong
And I face their wrath?

Am I just too prudish;
Too modest for good?
The actions I think about
I probably could...

And maybe a little
Too carefully I tread
But instead of acting on desire
I keep it all in my head
