When she’s scared to admit
The truth of her beauty
She won’t let others see
Beyond surface
It’s easier to hide
Behind a smiling mask
Of layers from her past
Safer that way
No one expects too much
Then she’s not rejected
Innocence protected
Fear’s prisoner

Spends the day looking
For spiders that may be there
And they oblige her

Fear’s only real
If you will let it stop you
Then it scores the win

Once the rain began
It was smooth sailing no more
Blast, hydroplaning!
