They Scare Me

They watch me Like predators hunting prey They approach me In an intimidating way They scare me With the meaningless words that they say. I hate How they control me I hate This is how it must be And I hate How I do nothing to set myself free. I ignore My nervous heart who continuously pounds I ignore My shaken limbs who utter broken sounds I ignore My fear that I will no longer let be found. And they watch me While I give them a warm grin And they approach me While I still stand stand strong from within And they scare me But I don't let that affect my chances of the win.
