The pocketbook poem

I'm scared to say what I feel because I don't want to get broken
I'm scared to talk to my mom about topics that are not easily spoken

I'm scared to list what I'm scared of and have people see it and run
I'm scared to one day be in a hospital bed and never see the sun

I'm scared I won't feel loved or sometimes even liked
I'm scared I will never be as happy as when I first learned how to ride a bike

I'm scared that my friends just hangout with me because they feel bad for me
I'm scared to open up who I am and for you to see

I'm scared of what the future holds 
I'm scared that one day my cards will fold

I'm scared that I won't live as happy as the new couple down the street
I'm scared that while my friends all get married it will just be me

I'm scared to be alone
I'm scared to talk on the phone

But why do all these things scare me?
I guess you never will see
The girl who lives wild and free 
Is slowly loosing the key

To love not expecting to get broken
To open up but not be outspoken

Live each day as an actress, pretending your character isn't scared of anything, for only then can you overcome your fears, don't show them you are weak and shed no tears.

Your fears try to define you but they can't.

Fears are afraid of their own shadow, they can't even speak, don't listen to your fears after all they are so weak.
