Scared Quote by Imagine Dragons
“Ever since I could remember, everything inside of me just wanted to fit in. I was never one for pretenders, everything I tried to be just wouldn't settle in. If I told you what I was, would you turn your back on me? And if I seem dangerous, would you be scared? I get the feeling just because everything I touch isn't dark enough if this problem lies in me.”
