Breaking Out

Why do I keep going back to the past?
I thought all of my fears had been cast.
I think too much
about life and such.

My desires and fears are holding me back.
I feel like my head is going to crack.
Why don't I just move ahead?
Cause I'm petrified and move back instead.

Too much thinking makes me go crazy.
My head is getting a little hazy.
I need to move past this stage.
I want to break out of this cage.
