When the pressure rises and the questioning blares When the assumptions fly and the fear of being ostracised glares When the fear of loneliness comes into play Or the possibility of failure that comes to stay The risk of not being able to blame anyone but you The guilt and ‘told you so’ that will ensue Will it overweigh your desire to be free And overwhelm your desire to be a wolf among sheep Will it crush your dreams of being unique I wonder which path will you seek

Scared of Dreaming
When the pressure rises and the questioning blares When the assumptions fly and the fear of being ostracised glares When the fear of loneliness comes into play Or the possibility of failure that comes to stay The risk of not being able to blame anyone but you The guilt and ‘told you so’ that will ensue Will it overweigh your desire to be free And overwhelm your desire to be a wolf among sheep Will it crush your dreams of being unique I wonder which path will you seek
