I’ve never wanted to be afraid
Afraid of falling , afraid of failing
Afraid of crashing, afraid of sailing into the unknown
I’ve never wanted to live in fear
In the fear that even at my best I won’t achieve success
But at the core, here, I live in fear
The future is right around the corner, the time is near
And even in the willpower I use, perseverance so sheer
I still feel overcome, heart racing and slowly running low on air
So what am I supposed to do now? Should I succumb? Should I let my fear win ?
Cause to perpetually live in fear
That’s the fear
Not fear of the unknown,
But the fear that fear itself will keep me from the unknown.
