Sometimes I Get Afraid

I’m afraid of who I am and who I want to be
I’m afraid of failing to live up to my responsibility
I’m afraid of not being able to provide everything my son needs
I’m afraid of losing my job and not making ends meet
I’m afraid of falling in love and being another casualty

Sometimes I get afraid, even though, I’m the epitome of a strong woman
Holding it down; alone, to myself I have proven
I’m a mover and a shaker and I’m constantly moving and shaking
Making eye contact even when my insides are trembling
Standing tall and smiling even when my psyche is wilting
 
Yes, I've suffered the most deplorable pain.
And this indeed has made me afraid.

But I never give up!
