Born To Stand Out

Afraid To Be Me

Build up walls everyday
To help block out the weakness
After all, defense is the best offense
Right?
Afraid to open up
Unbroken only on the outside
Insecure and trapped
Afraid to fall
Afraid to break
Don't want to tear down the walls
Sense of protection is gone
Instead I'm full of the terror of losing
Life is a game
What will you gamble?
Pushing everyone away
For their own good
But what about me?
What happens when I have no one to turn to?
Walls won't help me now
What should I do?
A fire of fear is igniting in my heart
Afraid to fail
Afraid to lose it all
Afraid to be alone
Walls won't help me now
Defenses are crumbling
Offense is breaking at the seams
Who do I turn to when no one understands?
Turmoil and stress bearing down on me
What do I do now?
Walls won't help me
Defenses won't protect me
I can't hide me
Afraid to be me
