Fear Still Resides Inside Me
After many months
Of living in secrecy, I now
want to show myself
to the world
I want to be known, yet
there’s something that
holds me back
I look at myself in the mirror
feeling content with the way I look
But I find myself still
staring at the mirror
And once again
I see the small teenage girl
trapped in darkness
I lose complete interest
I lose hope
I sit back and close my eyes
for a while
I reflect back into the past
remembering those tragic moments,
Those tragic days;
Those tragic months
My hands trembling and
My heart beating faster
I needed to face my fears
And here i am
Wandering through the streets
Of amsterdam
Still unsure about what i want
To do with my life
Looking from side to side but
Fear still resides inside me
