Bravery

Daisy Montgomery

I'm afraid of the world.
I'm not afraid of blood or pain,
Of falling or death.
But I'm terrified of words and thoughts,
Of heights and being left.
I hate elevators and loud noises,
I'm scared of lightning.
I'm so afraid of failing.
I'm not scared of disfigurement,
Dismemberment,
Or Burning.
I'm not afraid of losing my mind.

I wish that I was better.
I know who I am
And I'm not afraid of her,
But I can't imagine being loved.
