fight your fears

I'm still afraid to make a move
That others may not approve.
I'm still afraid to be myself
As I'm not like everybody else.
I'm still afraid to reveal my heart
Because I can't let things fall apart.
The darkness swallowed me whole
I was drowning, struggling to breathe
I reached out trying to grasp onto something, anything
But my hand simply went through the empty void
I opened my mouth to call out
I know what you're thinking-
Not the echidna.
I see them-
massive structures of meat and bone
clenched
intent
on destruction
