Keep quiet
Hold your breath
Feel your heart rate increase
Bite back a scream
Hug your knees
Cradle yourself gently
Let the tears run down your face
Leaving trails behind
But don't open your mouth
Make sure not to lie
Out there searching
The target here is you
Insecurities
Reputation
Its your own mind
Haunting you
Be sure to hide
Runaway
Its been this way for years
Find yourself
Break free
And maybe you can find safety
Reassurance
Appreciation
All you ever wanted
To be loved
Cared for
Accepted as one
But hiding within your own fear
Won't allow you to be free
So take a chance
Build up a strong stance
Cause once you do
You will no longer feel blue
Just do you best
Nobody asks for anything more
In the end
Just be you
