"Surrounded"

Surrounded by--

An ocean of tears

And a mountain

Of fears.

"Tears Are Loud, Fears Are Proud"

Tears--
Droplets running down her face.
Fears--
Surround her like a warm embrace.

Tears--
Water coming from her eyes.
Fears--
So crippling that they paralyze.

Tears--
So many she can taste the salt.
Fears--
So many she puts herself at fault.

Tears--
Running down her face like a stream.
Fears--
Keeping her from chasing her dream.

Tears--
Like a river, they keep on flowing.
Fears--
Traumatized her without her knowing.

Tears--
Constantly reminding her of her past.
Fears--
She wonders how long will this last.

"Scared of Rejection (Striving for Perfection)"

I'm scared of rejection--
So, I often disappear.
Lost in my reflection--
Until I reappear.

Striving for perfection--
Gets harder every year.
I'm scared of imperfection--
But I try to fight the fear.
