Not Knowing

Not knowing what I’m doing
feels dangerous

Will I be loved,
if I make a mistake?

Would it be okay,
to just be myself?

Are you sure
that’s enough?

Will I hurt you
if I don’t know what I’m doing?

I feel unsafe

Yes, now I know
Stay small
Stay still

If you can’t see me
nothing will happen

And that’s exactly what I want

Nothing
