~…Afraid…~

I'm not afraid of you, Sonny,

When you insult me or glare,

Or when I know you want an answer

But all I do is stare.

...

I'm not afraid of you, Sonny,

Even when you find I've lied.

You see the jerk on the outside

But you can't see what's inside.

...

I'll easily take you on, Sonny,

Even though I'm not prepared.

Sometimes, I get defensive,

But that doesn't mean I'm scared.

...

I'm not afraid of you, Sonny,

But what really makes me upset

Is how I'm afraid of how I feel about you.

That's got me scared to death.

...

I'm afraid of being afraid, Sonny,

Since I've never been before.

And the fact that you're never scared of me

Makes me scared all the more.

...

I'm afraid of the way I light up when I see you.

I'm afraid of falling apart.

I'm afraid of, for once, falling for someone,

Or ending up with a broken heart.

...

I'm afraid of feeling vulnerable,

And these feelings I can't let go.

I'm afraid I'm in love with you, Sonny,

And I'm afraid you might never know…

Okay, so, I know what you're thinking. Writing poetry is something I, Chad Dylan Cooper (the best actor of our generation, thank you very much), would never do. But I was getting seriously bored waiting for the rest of the Mack Falls cast to finish memorizing their lines (amateurs…) and, come to think of it, Sonny gets me to do a lot of stuff I never thought I'd do. Oh, God…I'm afraid of what I'll do next.

So, I'm thinking I'll title this work of art "Afraid" because I think I mention the word once or twice. And who knows? Maybe this masterpiece will come in handy some day when there's some lame poetry assignment in an English class or I'll mail it to Sonny anonymously or…oh my god. I'll post it on fan fiction . net!!
