Scared and sad, mad frightened anxious worried you don’t need that, not at all set aside get out of that feeling don’t be hurried

Don’t be scared its ok don’t be horrified

it's dam hard, I know it's ok to feel shocked really don’t be anxious don’t feel played

It’s been tough and hard, yes but don’t feel rocked no need to be like this don’t be afraid

Yeah, I'm hiding in my room feeling spooked
feeling this way, you feel like a coward
a while of feeling scared you feel pooped
I'm feeling hungry, and I go devour



after being scared I feel no-good

realising I'm not scared, I feel good!
