Are You Really Scared

Are you really scared?

Scared to see how you fared

Are you really weak when you try to speak?

When your cries are heard and no one's concerned

Do the sands of time run straight through your mind?

Do you feel so sad for those dreams you once had?

When you were so damn sure that this life was yours

Do you look and see another life you need?

The life you owe yourself before those gates of hell

Are you really scared when you see how you've fared?
