Running Scared

I run scared when I have to face my problems.

I run away when I'm supposed to defend myself.

I'm not skinny so I can't be popular, I don't have money or many friends so I have too many flaws.

It makes me want to bawl.

They make me run scared at ever glance and whisper.

Every comment I can't even hear.

For every insult I know is there but it's unspoken or even said quiet.

I have this and that wrong with me so I no longer know what is good about me.

I can no longer believe the simplest things, as I can write really good when they tear me down any and every chance they get.

My pain my battle my doom when I'm running scared.

I'm... Always running scared and I can't stop now...
