The Question

I'm a girl,
Just a little girl
Lost in this world,
This world of pain.
I have nowhere to go,
No one to turn to.

Why have I been left out here
To face this on my own?
Why won't anybody help me?
Am I not worthy of their assistance
Or is it them who feel unworthy?
But why would they feel this way towards me?
I'm just a lost little girl,
Facing this world alone.

I have no strengths,
No way to protect myself
Against the wrath of the world.
I am weak and scared.
I'm scared of being alone,
But that's always how I am.
I worry about failure,
Being a loser.
I'm afraid of love,
But it's what I want,
What I spent my life searching for!

But what type of life is one lived in fear?
Or turn it around and the question becomes:
" If you live your life in fear,
What the use in living? "
