Analysis of Scared
Belinda Richmond 1979 (Chicago)
Afraid to be seen
Afraid that people
Wouldn’t accept me
Scared to be Judged
So, I put on a Show
Pretending to be someone
That everyone would like to know
So, I put on a Façade
To hide the Real Me
To Keep her hidden
So others can’t see
I do these things
Because I’m Scared to be Me!!
