A great fear arose in me

One the held down that best part of me.

Being scared of rejection and broken apart

All because of who I am at heart

A comic nerd at heart, one filled with knowledge

Enough to make it a major in college

Fear that because of so

Fear that it would keep me all alone

That it would make me wear a mask, oh so

One I would not like to call my own

But I had faith, oh yes I did

And saw that I had nothing to worry, that was the opposite of what I thought I did

I found a community

Of friends and family

One that won’t just let me leave me a sham

One that cares for me
