Let Us Love You


You fear us, expect rejection,
fear humiliation should you offer trust.
You shut us out to keep us
from shutting you out, to shield
your soul, to preempt pain.
Isolation's the same 
inside out or outside in.
And your premise fails --
at least in these rooms.
We love you at first sight.
Believe it. Realize acceptance.
Feel it. Let us love you
until you can love yourself.
