Afraid Poem by Tess Green

When I look at myself
Heres what I see
A small little girl
With sad brown eyes.

When I listen to myself
Heres what I hear
A tiny whisper blown
Away into the night.

But with you..

When you look at me
What do you see?
A beautiful young lady
with a glimmer in her eyes.

When you listen to me
What do you hear?
A strong voice carried
straight to your mind

With you
I am alright

With you
I have motivation

With you
I can smile

But when I'm alone
I shrink down a bit.

When I'm alone
I'm nothing more
than a timid
little mouse

When I'm alone..

I'm afraid of myself.
