I know that you know more than you are telling me
Why can you tell me what you are afraid of?
Do I scare you?
As you perceive me a strong woman
But I am not
I am just as frightened of the world as you
Even more so
Just the thought of the violence
Out there making me want to hide
However, I thought of you as brave
I guess you assume I was too
It's a visage that I learned to wear
Sometimes, I get so terrified I think
I am going to collapse with fear
But, doing things, I don't know how to do it
For when the fearis shaking my heart
I want to turn around and disappear
But I do it anyway as my mind
Shuts the thoughts down
And my heart stops quivering
Maybe, yes, I think I am brave
When, you question it
