The Way I See Myself
April 30, 2024
People always ask about my biggest fear or freight
They always think I'm drowning in the terrors of the night
Or maybe it's the tiny rooms that act like their small spaces
Sometimes they'll say it's the fear of the public, standing on the narrow stages
Sometimes I'll say it's heights or the fear of clowns
I'll even say it's deep waters of fear that I might drown
But I always lie about one thing keeping it from someone else
Cause my biggest fear is that you'll see me the way I see myself

This is beautifully written. I relate to this so much, and these words are so powerful, I am so sorry for your loss and wish you the best. <3
I have many fears in life that follow me everywhere I go and sometimes I get made fun of because of the stupid fears I might have or that I do have. This really inspired me because I don't like to express myself but poetry is the one way that I feel like I can type out my feelings without being judged by anyone because to everyone else, that seems to be the only way they understand it all. I just recently lost a close friend to social media suicide and I just want to inspire many people with the words of wisdom I have received over the 14 years of my life.
