Just like you

A poem by Samyak Shah 

I’m living, just like you are
I’m scared, just like you are
I fear getting beaten, just like you do
I fear being hated, just like you do

I want to be loved, just like you are
I want to be appreciated, just like you are
I fear not giving my best, just like you do
I fear having regret, just like you do

I’m ugly sometimes, just like you are
I’m looking for a place to hide, just like you are
I fear being blamed for something I didn’t do, just like you do
I fear scaring people with my ugliness, just like you do

I want to be respect, just like you are
I want to be successful, just like you are
I fear offending people, just like you do
I fear losing connections, just like you do

I’m hopeless sometimes, just like you are
 I’m emotional sometimes, just like you are
I fear not seeing the world’s grey shades, just like you do
I fear not knowing who’s truly by my side, just like you do

I’m afraid to not have lived to my fullest, just like you are
I’m scared I might waste my life behind trivia, just like you are
I want to love people and give everything I’ve got, just like you do
I’m scared whether they’ll accept me or not, just like you do
