"I'm terrified"
Well aren't well all?
What sets you apart from me
Or the person we pretend to be
To be honest fear can go fuck itself
I wake up everyday with this weight
So unbearable
As I suffocate
I've never had people completely stand by me
They're either on the sidelines
Or they've give up on me
Listen trust is all I ask
It's not that hard of a task
Many have held the gauntlet
Just to drop it
I give up trying to be who people want
I am who I am,
Take that shit or leave it
I am not who you think I am
I am holding back
Tidal waves of anger and regret
Listen I know who's really there for me
They don't need to be convinced
That I'm worth their time
Fear is the root of my problems
Without it there wouldn't be anything
Holding me back
So be glad fear exists
Because oh dear
I'd be too powerful for you
