Afraid

Afraid to be alone
So you become friends with everyone

Afraid of being yourself
So you distance yourself from everyone

Afraid to not be liked
So you portray what others like most

Afraid to show your emotions
So you front to everyone

Afraid of your reflection
So you eat little and turn all the mirrors around

Afraid of commitment
So you pull away when you get close

Afraid of rejection
So you take back and hide your feelings

Afraid of death
So you hurt yourself instead

Afraid of silence
So you stay chaotic and loud

Afraid of putting yourself out there
So you stay hidden in the crowd

Afraid of your own life
So you create one in your books

Afraid of change
So you bottle up your emotions and ignore what your heart says

Afraid of the truth
So you run from it

Afraid of your blood
So you make family out of others

Afraid of reality
So you dream, write, draw, and create a fantastical world that you can escape to whenever you want

Afraid of the voices
So you block them out with books and writing

Afraid to lose those you hold dear
So you push them away so "it hurts less"

Afraid of our insecurities
So we fire shots at each other's
