Don't be still

by PensNneedles

A choice to make Will you roll the dice Take a leap of faith to see if you can fly Or keep your head down and stay in line If you're too scared to make a sound Then they'll make up your mind The doubt within you is gripping your bones leaving you unable to decide on your own Is there light beyond the curtain You may be uncertain but don't let your worry turn you to stone Never do just what they tell you They think that they know better They only know how nervous they can make you some days You should let the bastards drown in their disaster while you keep yourself far away Will you believe in yourself enough to regain your feet after they've tripped you up It's an uphill battle but at the top you'll look out from your castle and be glad you never stopped Not every setback was a cause for concern A fuck-up wasn't failure if it helped you learn Even when you felt like fainting something kept on saying Your strength is born from pain you didn't earn
