My Worst Fear

My worst fear
Isn't the monsters under my bed
Or the things hiding in the shadows

My worst fear lies right in my brain
It's the scary thoughts inside my head

My worst fear is
That no one will be able to see my drowning in my own tears
Or see me gasping for air that isn't there
No one will see me suffocating myself underneath the heavy thoughts and feelings I balance on my chest

My worst fear is that no one
Not a single soul
Not even my own
Will realize how badly I'm hurting
