I am self conscious and scared
I wonder what people think of me constantly
I hear their laughter in my head every day
I want to know that I am accepted
I am self conscious and scared

I pretend I don’t care what others think when it’s all I ever think about
I feel like I’ll never be enough for them
I touch the out of place hairs on my head that everyone seems to see
I worry that I’ll always blend into the background
I cry at night wishing all these worries and troubles I have would go away
I am self conscious and scared

I understand that I’ll never be perfect
I say I’m okay with that, but im not
I dream that someday I will be
I try everyday to become okay with my imperfections
I hope someday I’ll be able to look back on this time and laugh
I am self conscious and scared
