I sneak through the darkness

Afraid of being noticed

I try not to breathe

Afraid of being heard

I walk in the shadows

Afraid of being seen

For who I am

Not just

The dark

I cover my face

Afraid of being known

I wash away tears

Afraid of being caught

I hold onto nothing

Afraid of being burned

Because few things

Will hold back

In the end

I stand here alone

Afraid of the emptiness

I wander without direction

Afraid of being lost

I huddle in the corners

Afraid of being missed

And yet I hide

Because I know

I need

My fears

A/N: It doesn't flow as well as I'd like, but I couldn't change anything while still preserving the meaning. Reviews?
