I'm watching you within this bush,  
Preparing for a quick ambush.  
  
Now did my appearance frighten,  
And did your rosy cheeks whiten?  
  
Since I have failed to surprise,  
Next time success, I should surmise.  
  
There's nothing else to do but scare,  
No other past-time would I dare.  
  
I see you riding on your bike -  
When you pass by is when I'll strike.  
  
So did that leave you terrified -  
You surely must be petrified.  
  
I'm fully aware that I'm not  
A girl who's capable of scaring  
But that's no reason to stop caring  
Or give up when I think I'm fairing  
Better even though I'm still erring.  
  
When I'm the first to catch a glance,  
I'm sure to take my scaring stance.  
  
Did my entrance cause you to fear,  
And make your innards feel quite queer?  
  
All arguments I will resist  
Which request that I do desist.   
  
I'll grant you I have had no luck,  
It's fact that at scaring I suck.  
Please grant me what I wish and seek -  
The power to frighten the meek.  
  
I really try my very best,  
To quicken beating in the chest.  
But nothing ever seems to work,  
No matter where it is I lurk.  
  
And all my scaring manages,  
To keep my heart in bandages,  
From all the emotional ache,  
Of no one faking for my sake.   
I use the scaring to pretend,   
That terror explains lonely trend,   
I push away that which could mend,   
And I've nobody in the end.
