I am Afraid
I'm scared**
when I lie awake
to the creak of the floorboards
rustle of the bushes
the walls that seem to call my name
and evenΒ Β
right under the bright sun
when every single flaw
and all the pain I feel
shines
all in front of there eyes
and the honest truth is
I don't know how to smother the fear
lock it inside
transform into the strong person
they make me to be
so that's why I cry
and why I be-little who I am
I speak in little phrases
and hide behind my friends
and I wonder
because
shouldn't seventeen years and counting
have
toughened my bones
smoothed the edges
of a life I was supposed to lead?
another one. This is honest and raw, and I right now I can't think of how to explain this any better.
