The truth.

I'm scared of my depression.
I'm scared of talking... to anyone, about the feelings I hide.
I'm scared of showing people who I really am.
I'm scared of showing too much emotion.
I'm scared of hurting the people I love.
I'm scared that I might cut myself.
I'm scared I'm not good enough.
I'm scared to make mistakes.
I'm scared that I'm not loved.
I'm scared... to be loved.
I'm scared I'll never go to college.
I'm scared I'm setting myself up to fail.
I'm scared my family won't accept me.
I'm scared that I'm a terrible writer.
I am scared... that I'll always be afraid.
But most of all... I'm scared that people might see
That I'm scared to ever be myself.

Author's Note

Just a jumbled up recitation of my current emotions, that I wouldn't even consider a poem.
