Held back by this fear
I am unable to hear
Your voice calling
I can feel myself falling
There's a yearning inside
That's getting harder to hide
So allow me to see
So that i can be set free
From this fear of mine
So with the rest of my time
I can see clear
What You want me to do from here

I can't find you
My only option is to wait
I only see you in my dreams
That causes me to stay up late
Because seeing you is painful
A reminder that our love was great
But that love is gone
The only thing left in it's place is hate
Hatred for the fact that we couldn't be together
Why did I ever believe in fate?

If I cut open your chest
What would your heart say?

Are you afraid to speak?
Or does your mind ache

I see fear in your eyes
But what does your soul pray?

You have built walls around you. Each with different names and different sets of problems to go with them. But your walls are made of glass! No one can see them except you. So let them fall down! Embrace the fear and nerves that come with that. But know that those nerves and that fear will soon turn into confidence. Then you can live your life free! With nothing stopping you from doing what you were called to do.

I walk around and I make you laugh.
I dance around and I make you smile.
I tell my jokes and I do my tricks.
Yet still you look over the tears of a clown.

Fake mask out front for the world to see
Next comes a wall of insecurities
Not to far is my desire to be perfect
Even when I know it's not worth it
Underneath is a presence of depression and anxiety
That only leaves me standing somewhere silently
In the midst of it all is a heart
That's been way too big from the start

To step out from among those who are not willing.
To stand up for those who are not able.
To speak loud when everyone else is mute.
My fears or my future?
