Scared! ! Poem by Becky Ginn

Someone reaches out to me
and alarm bells start to ring
is this how its going to be
I'm so scared of everything

Friends and family try to hug me
but I feel so sick I can't
they don't understand the panic
that rallys around inside of me

New people try to talk to me
but I'm so messed up I stutter
feeling embarrased I run away
no longer myself I want to be

If only people could see the hurt
and pain I feel inside
the past will always haunt me
I just wish that they could see.
