I am Afraid
Fear follows me Nipping at my heels whispering all the reasons to run away and hide
Poetry for people who could use a little kindness
Fear follows me Nipping at my heels whispering all the reasons to run away and hide
I am here I am visible I will be seen Speaking out is scary can get me hurt ostracized abandoned But this is who I am and I will be me I will not be silent No matter how loud I have to be I will let the world know that I EXIST
With your trauma you devoured my love With your narrative you silenced my voice With your self-hate you killed my self-love
I have a pair of magical socks They might look ordinary to others But to me, they are most extraordinary They helped me open my eyes
They showed me who I really am

I always try to be the person that everyone else wants
Even when that person clashes with who I am
Sometimes my brain is confusion and chaos A balloon of noise about to go POP
When I was sick You'd whisk me away To adventures with your friends And make it a good day
My head is a mess Full of thoughts I can't convey Words images Half incomplete sentences All running together like paint To form a blurred idea
When you found me I was a wounded bird So broken I couldn't fly
