Too scared to breathe
Inhaling all insecurities
Too scared to speak
Saying things that make me sound like a freak
Too scared to think
Thoughts provoke me to sink
Too scared to be
Knowing that the world will see the real me
Too scared to dream
Nightmares come more often than waters of a stream
Too scared to run
The past burns me hotter than the sun
Too scared to rise
Afraid I may just hit the sky
Too scared to appeal
Shadowing from how I truly feel
