To be honest
I'm afraid to fail
Afraid to fall

I'm afraid of creatures
Outside my door
Outside the walls

And hard times are coming
Coming so fast
And I must not be afraid

I pretend I am brave
I pretend I am strong
I pretend—

But that's all it is
It's only that
Pretend

When the bombs light up the sky
Like shooting starts
I force myself to look out my window

I force my self to be strong
And maybe I won't be
So afraid
