Fear

Atelophobia- The fear of not being good enough.
Feeling that you'll never make your parents proud.
But not by doing things,
By just being who you are.
Feeling that society will judge eveything about you,
Because you're not skinny,
Or you don't have huge boobs and a butt.
Feeling that you'll let your friends down.
Feeling trapped,
Like there isn't a way out.
Eveyone wants you to be perfect,
Yet,
They don't want to try and help you.
Maybe the fear of not being good enough,
Is really just my imagination.
My imagination playing tricks on me,
Telling me lies.
But it tells me lies so I can get through the day.
So I can live,
One day at a time.
