Hello friend
One I love
One I trust
You scare me
You frighten me of myself
I worry if you feel the same
Or if you feel my shame
I can convince myself that you don't want me here
You don't like me

Then I come to talk to you
I scramble for words
The words I speak
you must love
Because I love you
So I play dumb
Playing that card is my armor
It protects me from the me
I think you do not want
Can you see that me?
Do you see
the me that deep down I address
I don't see myself as a person that is not confident
Deep down I really love myself
But if this is honestly true
why do I feel I can't show you who I really am
So I act like I'm
Careless
Confused
Cute
Stupid
Small
I
Play
Dumb
