Fear and Fearless
Testing the boundaries,
forgetting the past,
making repentance,
making it last.
From one to the next,
another and another,
pealing away,
from eachother.
Breaking, knotting,
trying to find,
the very last thing
that's always in the back of your mind.
racing, turning, falling, burning
through the ground,
buried alive,
dead but not dead,
pounding, no sound.
Do you have a wish?
are there regrets?
You still have time,
before you rest.
Don't close your eyes,
don't hold your breath,
don't wait for someone,
who isn't a threat.
Hold your heart,
and cover your ears,
you've got a chance,
face your fears!
