Scared and Exposed

I have opened up and let you in. with no cost to me

because you don't know who I am.

My souls done the writing,

now my head is trying to take over

and the protective robot inside

is fighting to come out.

You know my struggles, you know my fears.

Let's go deep in my roots

and back to the beginning of me.

I never got to know my dad.

I hate that I'm shy, and I worry too much.

I love getting lost in books, and sometimes my favorite day of the week is Tuesday.

I cry too much, but my mom says I'm just tender hearted.

I've been told I have long eye lashes.

I wish I could fly

I listen to sad music because sometimes I want to feel sad.

I doubt myself,

and I want to live forever.

So who am I you ask?

I'm just an ordinary human

trying to be extraordinary.

Sincerely Toni Hoover
