I distance myself, don't talk often, but think plenty,
I cannot break out of my shell, I'm just not ready.
I'm scared I might embarrass myself somehow,
Like not make any eye contact or forget to bow.
I'm scared I might say something I didn't mean,
And throw on an image that I'm not very keen.
I'm scared that I may trip and fall on my face,
And get called 'clumsy', but that's not the case.
I'm scared that someone will notice my existence,
That is why I have to hide and keep my distance.
I'm scared of being scared at things that don't scare,
I always find that I'm afraid and it's just not fair.
I'm scared of being judged by a total stranger,
I'm scared of the feeling that I'm always in danger.
I won't make this long, I'm scared of many things,
While everyone watches and pulls at my heart strings.
