Because I'm scared I dont reach out to hold your hand
Because Im scared I walk on the sidelines and watch you from afar
Because im scared im scared if what you will think of me so I keep my distance
Because im scared I avoid you
Because im scared what if you dont like me what if im not good enough for you what if im not the one you are looking for what if im not the girl you will want in your life to hold and cherish.
Because im scared I dont talk to anyone for fear of judgement
Because im scared I sit at the back of the class and pray that the teacher never calls on me
Because im scared my voice shakes when I talk
Because im scared of the world
Why you ask
Because this world is a scary place and we are taught to get ahead we have to step on others
Because we are taught that its ok to make fun of another person for anything
Because we are taught that love is weak
