Fear

The world has stared into my soul
Not only did I flinch,
but was unable to hold it’s gaze for even a second
I have been tested, measured
I’m afraid, I’ve failed, I’ve come up lacking
But mostly, I’m just afraid
The world has swallowed me whole
Without slowing, without even seeming to notice
If life is what you make it, I’m afraid my life is nothing
It was big and scary and I ran away
But mostly, I’m just afraid
The worst is I’ve even had the opportunity
It was all there, it truly does knock
But what they don’t tell you is that the sound is deafening
I know I haven’t tried,
that way I can tell myself I didn’t really fail
Because of course, if I had really tried I would have succeeded
I’m afraid that if I ever do get the courage, it’ll be too late
But certainly, I’m too afraid of being afraid to change today
As always I am afraid

i think i might accually get this life is most deffinitly a scarey thing but the main this is to know that others are scared to and not to let the fear consume you, it does take courage to face each new day, to wake up each morning ...
but to just take these words and let them out took great courage |

| I guess it's about the fact that I'm 22 years old and haven't really accomplished anything. I don't even think I'm all that good at anything. I wrote this because I truly realized that it’s entirely possible for me to live my entire life without ever really being anybody. I see this to be a problem of course, but I’m not really sure what to do about it. I might really be so scared of failure that I will not be able to try. I guess that is what it is about. |
