I am


I am confident and unbreakable

I wonder if anyone knows the real me

I hear my name spoken proudly

I see a smile on everyone's face

I want to keep that smile there forever

I am actually shy and scared

 

I pretend to be more confident than I am

I feel the need to be needed

I touch just to feel

I worry about tomorrow

I cry behind closed doors

I am actually shy and scared

 

I understand I can’t do everything

I say I will try

I dream to make the world better

I try to mean what I say

I hope to keep everyone happy

I am actually shy and scared
