I Am
I am shy and scared,
I wonder why I can't show my true self,
I hear the weeping of the frightening sounds,
I see the sight of startling things.
I want to be the same as everyone else.
I am shy and scared,
I pretend I'm not scared and shy.
I feel lonely and sorrowful,
I try to touch the imaginary people, I can't see.
I worry that I am never going to feel different.
I cry when I don't feel secure.
I am shy and scared.
I understand that everyone is different,
I say that I am excellent but I am not.
I dream that my life is not mine.
I try to feel unafraid when I am not.
I hope that I won't feel afraid or embarrassed anymore.
I am shy and scared.
