Don't Be Afraid
Stereomud Lyrics

You don't like them stepping on you
You feel unhappy when others disregard you

You don't like they make fun of your name
You get upset when others mock you

You don't like they tell you what to do
You feel frustrated when others try to control you

When you just try to fit in
You want to belong and be accepted by others

And they're all laughing
They're mocking you and having fun at your expense

You're left there standing
You feel isolated and alone

Don't know what to do
You're uncertain about how to handle the situation

When you feel hurt and afraid
You experience emotional pain and fear

Don't show it bothers you
You try to hide your feelings and maintain a strong exterior

Don't give yourself away
You don't want others to see your vulnerability

Eyes keep closing
You want to avoid facing the reality of the situation

And your mind's exploding
You're feeling overwhelmed and stressed

And your anger's growing
You're starting to feel resentful and frustrated

Can you stand up for yourself
Are you able to assert yourself and stand your ground?

Watch out for yourself
Be vigilant and protect yourself from harm

Close up your fist
Prepare yourself to fight back

You are not afraid
You're determined to overcome your fear and stand up for yourself

Don't know how it began
You're unsure of how the problem started

Don't know who said it
You don't know who's responsible for the issue

Don't know who you can trust
You're uncertain of who you can rely on for support

Are they lying?
You question the honesty of others

It's hard when you pretend
You're struggling to maintain a facade of strength

That they're not pointing
You're trying to ignore the fact that others are singling you out

Their fingers feel like someone's pushing you
Their teasing and taunting feels like a physical attack

Don't run, run, run
Don't retreat from the situation

Feel your eyes keep closing
You're struggling to keep your eyes open and face the problem

Don't be afraid
Don't let fear prevent you from standing up for yourself
