I smeared lambs blood on my door
Now, I am back to picking my nose again

Is one hiding under your toast?

Scared of my thoughts and feelings.

The German Shepherd terrifies me.
More than any animal I see.
So I stay away,
Every single day
In his giant jaws my flesh I see.

Along with shaky and scared.
They ask me questions
And I give them some answers,
But not the answers they want.

Afraid.
Of rejectance.
Reaching out a timid hand
Just as scared of acceptance.
Alone in a crowd
Similarly different.

Only when you feel weak

Failure takes place 
Whenever you feel can't
