I am not as strong as you think,
I have the fear of falling,
the fear of never seeing you again,
and the fear of being alone.
You may think I hold it together
all the time, but why do I cry
myself asleep then, and why
is no one beating down my door
for the advice you say I have.
I have fears, fears I can not
even express, they creep to
me in the dark where no one
can save me from them.
Fear of you leaving me,
Fear of nothing beyond now,
Fear of death with nothing left,
Fear of missing out on everything.
But I will be strong and put these
fears aside and be the girl you think
I am, so you can have someone strong
beside you, just take the pain with you
when you leave.
