Fear

My fear is that if I come out of my barrier
and be myself my real self.
Is that no one would except me or like me
for who I would be. 
Who would I become because no one really
truly knows me.
No one knows what I am capable of doing and
what I cannot do.
I am a mystery to most for some reason I
can not get close.
Because if I do they might see the real me.
And I don't know who that would be.
