my greatest fear
is that i will forever be the friend
left behind,
the one uninvited
with friends, but always alone
i'm scared to let people in
not because of the damage you'll do,
but the damage you'll find
what happens if i never become
someone's "someone?"
will i just be no one?
i'm scared that you will see past my lying smile,
and realize that the little girl
waltzing on broken glass
is all i will ever be
my greatest fear is that
you see me the way i
see myself
