How scary would it be

How scary would it be

To let someone see

All your Imperfects, flaws, and mysterys.

To let them in despite the pain 

Be truthful and show honesty

How scary would it be 

To show all your parts inside and out

Would they judge and say mean things

Of be truthful, honest, and open with me

For I know there are two kinds of people

But how do I know which is which 

And will I be scared and Hide in a shell

Or will I be open and share how I feel

Are there only a few people who will listen to me 

Or can I make an Impact

And have a good relationship

I will be nervos, scared, and trembling

I will have fears and douts

But despite the fear and scary feeling

I know I can be strong

It will be scary 

Even nervracking

But I know if I don't take that chance

I will be lonely

And no one truly wants that.
