The Girl

By Micaela Torres

She’s Afraid

Afraid of rejection

Afraid of things that can happen

Afraid of her thoughts

Afraid of not making it

Afraid of falling

Doubting herself ….she won’t make it

Feeling unwanted

Feeling ashamed

Feeling stupid

Feeling alone

For only she knows

She can, she can succeed

She can reach the stars

She can go beyond

She can and she will
