Moving in front of me like a sea of disaster

In which I have no paddle,
Unable to avoid,
Getting ready to hold my breath,
About to take the plunge.

Because I'm confident that I know how to swim,
I learned when I was young,
And like when I was little,
My father taught me lessons on how to live life.

How to be a better human,
By being honest,
And a little modest,
To care for everything, big or small.

But he never taught me to love another human being,
He said it would be natural,
That it would come to me like she would,
And that my life would be fulfilled.

Yet as long as I have lived,
I do not imagine myself falling in love,
Because I'm not a good human being,
And my father's lessons seem wasted as he is ashamed at my attempts at love.

I'm not a good human being,
From everything you have been seeing,
I have given you no reason to show interest,
But I guess, I digress-

I've hoped that avoiding you would help me,
Like most of my problems I run from to avoid,
Except that I can't stop thinking about you,
And it reminds me that I don't want to give up,
  Not if there's something worthwhile to fight for,
  What else would there be that I keep thinking about?
