Scared

So this is how it’s going to be?

Scared of my own shadow

For fear of fucking up again

Just keep head down and mouth shut

Don’t let them in or near

Because you just can’t know

This is what I learned from her?

To never speak to anyone new?

No, this isn’t the way to live

But now I’m trapped in my own head

A stupid, sorry, simple fool

Reduced to silence and avoidance

By the pain I can’t escape

Looking for a way out

Of my own damn mind
