I am like a turtle,
Who is afraid to come out of his shell,
Because the whole world is telling me I am going to fail.
I am like a bug that runs from the light,
Afraid to get noticed if I don't do something right.
I am like a lighting bug,
Afraid to glow,
Because if I don't shine bright enough someone will know.
I am like an ant who carries the weight of the world on his Shoulders,
Because every one around me makes my little crumbs into great Big bolders.
I am a scared little girl,
Afraid to love, to trust, to forgive,
Afraid to go out into the world, afraid to live.
I am a fragile little tree afraid of the wind,
For I know when it blows I will be knocked down again.
