Sometimes I fear you'll see right through me, like I'm nobody. sometimes I fear I use too many filters so you got caught up in seeing some fake beauty, that was never real. and sometimes I fear you'll leave. i'm most afraid when i'm alone.

I just wanna be heard but it comes out mumbled. I scream as loud as I can, you don't hear me, i'm just another lost soul. am I even real?

Sometimes I get scared you'll see through me, like a ghost. sometimes I get scared I'm just as fake as the filters I use daily. and sometimes I get scared you'll leave and never come back. I know they say alone time is good for you but there's a limit till it starts driving you insane.

sometimes I fear you won't see me at all.
somedays I think of all the old friends I've lost over the years and I fear you might turn into one of them; change to someone I don't recognise but I thought I knew.
