My secret name is Anxious Ashlyn 
It's the name I call myself when I think no one else is looking 
It would make for a pretty bad superhero 
I lost the word hero 
Or at least the word no longer applies to me 

You start young and small
Moving through life as a river moves through the woods,
As the river laughs and plays.
With time you grow,
Gaining power and strength.
But on the inside you are still young and small.

There once was a young girl
She was a happy child
She danced and played 
Sometimes all day
Her imagination was a wonderland
She liked dolls, dress up
Listening to One Direction and Taylor Swift

You asked me to talk on a chilly, fall day
We hadn’t spoken in weeks
Maybe more
I’m nervous to hear
What you have to say
Will you make me cry?
It’s not like it would be the first time
