I am afraid of you, 

You make me feel as if I’m not good enough. 

I am afraid of you, 

I specifically use a different bathroom, so I don’t have to see you in the morning. 

I am afraid of you, 

I avoid places where I know you’ll be. 

I am afraid of you,  

You knock down my self confidence with the numbers you label me with. 

I am afraid of you, 

I step on you but then you find a way to make me feel worse than ever. 

I am afraid of you, 

You put societies perspective of me in front of my face. 

I am afraid of you, 

You are a scale on the bathroom floor. 

Why am I afraid of you? Why do you evoke so much fear? Why do the numbers you give change how I see myself? 

I should not be afraid of you, 

But I am.
