Facing my Fears

It is hard for me to face my fears,
I try to be my true self,
I want to be like other kids.
People expect me to be smart,
Nice and not get in trouble.
If I do get in trouble,
They will tease me a bit.
People say I'm very quiet and shy.
Very soon, I will show my true self.
I will be more talkative and active,
But still be the person I am now!
