am I doing this right?
i’m not sure how to play this friend game,
is it okay to be myself?
i keep wondering if they really like me,
or if this is just a passing phase.
what if it turns out like before,
when things just kinda fell apart?
i’m trying not to let past fears
mess up something that feels new.
am i doing this right?
every laugh feels like a test,
every plan, a leap of faith.
i’m stuck in this loop of wondering,
if this time will be the same old story.
am i doing this right?
is it too soon to trust the smile?
when can i truly tell them everything,
without fearing it’ll drive them away?
sometimes i feel like i’m just guessing,
hoping i’m not too far off track.
wondering if they see the real me,
or just a version i’m trying to act.
am i doing this right?
i guess i’ll just take it slow,
and hope for the best, see where it goes.
maybe i’ll find that it’s okay,
to be unsure and still be here.
am i doing this right?
learning as i go,
trying not to let old doubts
dictate how i grow.
