Afraid

The sun rises everyday

so bright, radiating with confidence

I can't help but to be jealous of it

wishing I was as confident as it is

Instead I hide

I don't want to be noticed

I don't want people to make way for me

I want to melt in with the rest

I don't want people to know me

not because that's what I really want

But because I am afraid

Afraid that people will notice

that mind isn't right

my thoughts are wrong

that my flaws will surface

and the scars on my legs will show

my less than perfect body will not be good enough

I'd rather not be seen

I'd rather not stand out

I'd rather hide
