Terrified?

I poem about being fearfull

Where are you leading me?
Where am I to go next?
I feel...scared.
But please don't tell anyone!
I'm not allowed to be scared.
I have so many children looking up to me,
So many adults looking down on me.
If I am scared...it proves them right.
So please don't tell anyone,
That deep down inside...
I'm crying, holding my knees, letting my makeup run, and breathing shallow.
I still feel like a little girl.
I don't want to make another move.
My legs are numb.
Please don't tell anyone.
Because I'm not scared.
I promise I'm not
(you can't tell, can you?)

Fear is an emotion that most have learned not to share or reveal. The thought of showing fear is also showing weakness. I tend to disagree. Fear is something we all deal with.

You did a really good job of capturing these feelings. Thank you for sharing.
