Of course, I want to see you
I wish you knew that
I just can’t
I’m a scardy cat
I’m not afraid of you
I’m afraid of myself
Of all the things I am
Of all the things I am not
I’ll never be what you’re expecting
Though you swear you expect nothing
I know differently
And I can’t take the disappointment you’ll feel
I am sorry
As I have been
All those times before
Silently wishing I was braver
I wish I could be beautiful
A perfect smile
To go with the voice
You’ve known all this time
The feminist in me
Rages at the mere thought
I change for no man!!
Yet I feel it all the same
I have shown so much of myself to you
So much more that I ever intended
So much of which
I hide from the world
You know a different me
Than most others
Who know my name
You know the scardy cat
Be patient, my friend
I can only promise
One day, I’ll be brave enough
To not be the scardy cat
