Iβm scared
I'm scared of everything
Heights, driving,
Growing up
Everyone seems to
Have life figured out
They all know what
To do once they graduate
Everyoneβs talking about
Colleges and dream jobs
But I donβt have a dream job
Or a dream college
They say itβs okay
Not to know yet,
They say you still
Have a few years
I want to be able to focus
Only on such things
But Iβm scared
To move forward
Growing up isnβt all that
Itβs cracked up to be
Iβm scared
Of change
Learning to drive is terrifying
One mistake and thatβs it
The world is
A scary place
And the older I get, the
More aware I become
Girls feel safer dealing with
Lions and bears instead of men
And people think that guys
Mental health is a joke
Yet males are more likely
To die by suicide then girls
Iβm a person who is
scared of everything
I'm not a strong
Person, Iβm scared
I fear every day that I
Might have to relive
Or add on to the years
Of emotional abuse Iβve
Been through and honestly
Barely survived
Iβm so weak Iβm not sure
How I made it through
But I did
And I know that there are worse
Things then emotional abuse
But Iβm a person who
Feels everything deeply
And Iβm stuck, not sure
How to move on
How do I grow
From that
How do I stop
Being so scared
How do I know that
It wonβt happen again
I donβt
This is why Iβm
Scared of everything
