Basic by Andrea Mosella

When someone asks me what I’m scared of

I play it basic and say the dark

Sometimes I’ll say heights,

Needles, or even sharks

Maybe I’ll say spiders,

Or flying above the ground

I’ll say confined spaces,

Or even pain and loud sounds

But I hide my real fears,

And put it on a far shelf

Because my biggest fear is that you’ll see me,

The way I see myself
