Why do I want to cry?
Why do I want to scream?
I thought I was happy
To figure this out.

I guess I was wrong
To love you for so long.
Now I see that we connect;
Each other we reflect.

When I talk you
There's a twinkle in you eye.
My love for you
It makes me want to cry.

Why am I scared?
Why do I worry?
Why do you send
Me mixed messages?

I try to hide it.
I try fight it.
You and me.
Could we ever be?

Every time your near
I get filled with fear.
Fear of rejection.
Fear of humiliation.

Why do I get nervous?
I’m nervous only around you.
Why do I get excited?
Do you realize its all because of you?

Is there something
That I’m missing?
Could there be a sign
That clearly tells me what to do?

What does that sign say?
Does it say to keep going strait
Or does it say to
Quite simply flip a u.

Why should I move along?
Why not stay right here?
Where I feel I belong,
But is this where I’m meant to be?

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<br /> -Marianne Williamson
