I feel that my mistakes have labeled me for life
The risks are high, but never impossible
I lose oxygen in the outer reaches of these choices
With no regrets except one

A mountain I cannot scale stands before me
I've climbed it so many times before
My hands are callused with my repeat failures 
And yet, I continue to climb
With every pore on my body dripping sweat I continue my venture 
only to hit the peak and fall again

I find myself wanting to quit this time
I look at the stubborn rock without laying a hand upon it
I think of every route I can take
Every dangerous leap, every step, but it all means nothing
Because for the first time... I feel something

I Feel Fear
