Do You Fear Me?
Do you fear me 'cause I wear
a purple friendship bracelet?
Do you fear having me as a friend?
Are you afraid to introduce me
to your grandparents?
The only perfect thing about me
is my perfect lack of confidence.
Does that freak you out?
I'm fat.
How does that sit with you?
I wear political pins.
does that bother you?
I'm a bookworm.
Does that depress you?
Are you terrified 'cause I've been bas mitzvahed?
Are you scared 'cause I think spiders are sacred?
I'm left handed. Ooooooooh, no comment.
Do you worry about me 'cause I'm a virgin?
'cause I'm loud and sometimes embarrassing,
are you wary of spending time with me?
I know where the feminist bookstores are
in a whole bunch of states.
Does that make you tremble?
People think I'm younger and older than I am.
Does that reflect badly on you somehow?
I don't always comb my hair.
Can you hear it coming?
It is my ugliness or beauty that
frightens you the most?
Are you afraid of me 'cause I'm human?
