My Biggest Fear

 I am a child who tries each day,

to learn, to grow, and find my way.

And I know the message I send is clear, 

"I'm okay, I can take it from here"

Well, that bravado I share, it's all an act.

A clever ruse to hide the fact that,

what I need is you right here,

to help me face my biggest fear.

Now lean in close and listen well,

'cause my friends don't think that I should tell.

My worry of worries, my biggest fear is,

what would happen if you weren't here?

So stay with me at home and school.

Ignore the fact that it's not cool.

And try as I might to hold you at bay.

It's at that very moment,

I need you to stay.
