I Am...


I am fearful

I am the girl that cowers when scrutinized

I am that girl that cares too much of what people think of me

I am always wondering if people like me at all

I am always wondering what my purpose is

I am fearful of making the wrong decisions

I am fearful of not being missed

I am fearful of not making my mark on the world

I am fearful of being alone

I am fearful of not being loved

I am fearful of judged solely by my appearance

I am fearful because I am a strong independent woman
